Piolax Inc. discloses limited governance around its climate-related engagement activities. It states that it “belongs to the Japan Auto Parts Industries Association” and that in setting its environmental plans and targets it “takes into account the ‘Environment Voluntary Action Plan’ formulated by the Association,” which incorporates “global warming measures and circular society initiatives,” indicating a mechanism to align its external engagement with broader industry climate commitments. 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 a pledge to align its advocacy with international climate objectives. However, Piolax does not disclose any specific internal process for monitoring or managing direct or indirect lobbying, nor is a responsible individual or formal oversight body named to review or approve its policy engagement. We found no evidence of a formal audit or review of its lobbying activities, and no criteria for assessing its participation in trade associations in relation to climate policy alignment.
