ANA Group demonstrates strong governance in its climate lobbying alignment processes. The organization has established a defined governance structure to ensure alignment of its external engagement activities, including those conducted through industry associations such as IATA and international organizations like ICAO, with its climate commitments and climate transition plan. Specifically, "all activities involving policymakers, including activities with industry associations such as IATA and international organizations like ICAO, are reported to the Group ESG Management Promotion Meeting held four times a year." This meeting serves as a monitoring mechanism to confirm that these activities are consistent with the medium-term management strategy and other climate change strategies. Furthermore, ANA Group's CEO and other executives actively participate in government committees and industry associations to "contribute to climate change policy decisions in line with the Paris Agreement." The governance structure is headed by the President and CEO of ANA Holdings, Inc., and chaired by the Chief ESG Promotion Officer (CEPO), who holds the highest responsibility for promoting ESG management. The Group ESG Management Promotion Committee meets regularly to "discuss important policies and measures related to environmental issues, including climate change, and to monitor progress toward targets." While the evidence does not mention a detailed lobbying audit or comprehensive review of alignment across trade associations, the organization has described a policy and process for alignment and identified responsible parties, reflecting strong governance.
