Lobbying Governance

Yuasa Trading Co Ltd describes its indirect lobbying approach through industry associations by registering with the Japan Foreign Trade Council and participating in its Earth Environment Committee and Sustainability Committee, stating “当社は日本貿易会に加盟しており、気候への取り組みを行う地球環境委員会及びサステナビリティ委員会に登録しております.” Through these bodies it “委員会を通じ、気候変動関連政策制定に向けた業界団体の立場として提言しています,” demonstrating a mechanism for aligning its external engagement with climate commitments. The company also answers “Yes” when asked if it has a public commitment to conduct engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. However, the company does not disclose any formal process for monitoring or reviewing these committee-led proposals, nor does it outline governance for direct lobbying efforts or identify a specific individual or governance body responsible for oversight. We found no evidence of an audit or detailed review procedure for climate lobbying, indicating moderate governance with clear indirect engagement structures but lacking comprehensive oversight and direct lobbying alignment mechanisms.
