Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Aica Kogyo indicates that its external engagement activities related to climate policy are “aggregated” by the Sustainability Promotion Committee, reflecting a central mechanism for collecting information on efforts that could influence climate-related legislation. However, it acknowledges that “reporting rules are not established,” so currently “divisions and group companies may act on their own judgment,” and only “plan to consider rule establishment” moving forward. The company also confirms a “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” demonstrating an intention to align its advocacy with global climate targets. While these disclosures show that the Sustainability Development Committee has oversight responsibility and that Aica Kogyo has publicly pledged alignment with the Paris goals, the absence of defined reporting procedures, approval processes for direct or indirect lobbying positions, or a named individual accountability for ensuring alignment indicates limited governance of its climate-related lobbying activities.
