Nippon Sheet Glass discloses only limited information that can be interpreted as lobbying-governance. It states that it has “a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement… Yes”, and explains that “the Sustainability Committee takes specific responsibility to monitor and steer the Group’s response to Environmental and Climate Change risks and opportunities.” The company also notes that “Governance of the application and delivery of the NSG Group sustainability policy… is undertaken at the highest possible level within the organisation via the Group executive management committee and sustainability committee.” While these excerpts indicate a high-level commitment to align external engagement with climate objectives and name committees that oversee wider sustainability matters, the evidence never specifies how direct or indirect lobbying activities are reviewed, who signs off on advocacy positions, or how trade-association misalignment is handled. No processes, audits, or monitoring mechanisms focused on lobbying are described, and no individual accountable for lobbying alignment is disclosed. Consequently, the disclosure suggests only a general pledge to keep engagement Paris-aligned, with no transparent governance framework dedicated to lobbying oversight.
