Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Kumiai Chemical Industry Co Ltd provides no disclosure of how it governs or monitors its lobbying activities to ensure alignment with the Paris Agreement or broader climate objectives. When asked "Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?" the company replies "No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years." We found no evidence of any policy detailing a process for reviewing or monitoring lobbying, no indication of oversight by a named individual or committee, and no measures to align direct or indirect lobbying—such as through trade associations—with its climate goals. This absence of any stated governance or accountability mechanisms suggests a lack of transparency around its policy engagement. View Sources	E

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Kumiai Chemical Industry provides only minimal insight into its climate-related lobbying. The company acknowledges that its activities are aligned with Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries “Strategy for Sustainable Food Systems (MeaDRI),” but it does not indicate that it has tried to influence this or any other piece of legislation, nor does it name any additional climate or sustainability policies it has engaged with. No information is offered on how the company might lobby—such as meetings, letters, or participation in consultations—or on the specific government bodies or officials it might target. The disclosure expresses a broad aspiration to support measures like innovation to improve agricultural productivity and sustainable agriculture, yet it stops short of describing any concrete regulatory changes, amendments, or quantitative goals the company seeks to secure. Overall, the company’s statements reveal only a general alignment with one government strategy and leave readers without detail on actual lobbying activities, mechanisms, or specific outcomes desired.
