Lobbying Governance

Teijin discloses a limited but explicit process for keeping its policy engagement consistent with its climate strategy, stating that "Our goals are aligned with the goals of the JBCE" and that one of its staff "is vice chair of the JBCE CSR Committee," indicating an identified individual who steers the company’s participation in this trade association. The company further confirms a public commitment to align engagement with the Paris Agreement, answering "Yes" when asked whether it has a position statement to conduct engagement in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement, and notes that JBCE "actively react[s] to EU consultations in these fields, and brings out position papers"—evidence that Teijin monitors at least one industry body and seeks alignment on climate-related reporting standards. However, the disclosure does not describe any formal internal oversight structure (such as board or executive review), a systematic monitoring protocol, or a procedure for addressing misalignment across all of its direct and indirect lobbying channels; nor does it mention publishing an audit or review of trade-association positions. This indicates some governance of indirect climate lobbying but lacks the more comprehensive controls, reporting and board-level accountability that would demonstrate strong governance.
