Lobbying Governance
| Overall Assessment | Analysis | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Moderate |
Mitsubishi Motors Corp discloses some elements of lobbying governance, particularly in relation to its climate change strategy and external engagement. The company states that its CEO is a member of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA) Board of Directors and holds other key positions, allowing Mitsubishi to "influence the positions and decision-making of the JAMA in relation to climate change issues." This indicates a process for aligning its indirect lobbying activities with its Environmental Vision 2050 and climate commitments. However, while the company mentions internal rules for political contributions and adherence to laws such as the Public Offices Election Act, there is no explicit description of a governance process for monitoring or managing lobbying activities, nor is there evidence of a comprehensive review or audit of lobbying alignment. Additionally, while the Sustainability Committee and Board of Directors oversee climate-related risks and opportunities, there is no clear indication that these bodies specifically oversee lobbying alignment. The company does not disclose a detailed mechanism for ensuring that its direct lobbying activities are consistent with its climate strategy. This indicates a moderate level of governance, with some processes in place but lacking comprehensive oversight and monitoring mechanisms for both direct and indirect lobbying.
