Kansai Paint Co Ltd provides no evidence of any formal governance process for aligning its lobbying or policy engagement with climate goals. In response to whether it has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?", the company states "No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years". We found no evidence of any policy or mechanism to review, monitor, or manage direct or indirect lobbying activities, and the company does not disclose any individual or committee responsible for overseeing such alignment.

Kansai Paint offers very limited transparency around its climate-policy lobbying. It references its alignment with the Japan Chemical Industry Association’s “Carbon Neutral Action Plan” and national targets for a 32 % CO₂ reduction by 2030 and net-zero by 2050, but it does not identify any specific government bills, regulations or other policies it has attempted to influence. The company also fails to describe how it engages with policymakers: there is no information on whether it meets officials, submits consultation responses, funds trade associations for advocacy, or uses any other direct or indirect channels, nor are any target agencies or jurisdictions named. Finally, while it states broad support for carbon neutrality and emissions reduction, it does not spell out the concrete legislative or regulatory changes it is seeking through its engagement. Taken together, these omissions mean that only a general aspiration is disclosed, without the detail necessary to understand the company’s actual lobbying activities or objectives.
