Lobbying Governance

Kojima Co. Ltd. discloses a basic governance mechanism that links its external engagement to its climate objectives, noting that "本エンゲージメントが、当社のパーパスやマテリアリティおよび気候変動戦略と一致する取り組みになるよう代表取締役社長と有識者が審議する『サステナビリティ推進委員会』にて報告するとともに、その改善に向けた協議を行っています," which indicates that a Sustainability Promotion Committee, involving the President and outside experts, receives reports on the company’s engagement activities and deliberates on improvements to keep them aligned with its climate-change strategy. This provides evidence of both a stated process for monitoring alignment and a named oversight body. In addition, the company confirms that it has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," signaling an explicit policy intention to align lobbying and other advocacy efforts with climate goals. However, the disclosure stops short of detailing how the committee evaluates specific direct or trade-association lobbying positions, whether it undertakes systematic audits, or how frequently reviews occur; thus, while the presence of an oversight committee and a Paris-alignment commitment indicate moderate governance, the company does not disclose the fuller monitoring procedures, coverage of indirect lobbying, or comprehensive audit results that would demonstrate a more robust framework.
