DOWA Holdings Co Ltd does not disclose any governance process or structures for its lobbying activities, whether direct or indirect. The available disclosures focus exclusively on climate change risk management: for instance, “the DOWA Group regards climate change as an important issue for its business management and the Group’s Sustainability Committee deliberates on the management of risks and opportunities relating to climate change issues,” and the Board of Directors “supervises company-wide, sustainability-related policies and goals, including measures against climate change.” Although these passages demonstrate a governance framework for climate risk with a “Climate Change Committee” and “Sustainability Subcommittee” overseeing related initiatives, we found no evidence of policies, review processes, or named individuals responsible for aligning lobbying activities with the company’s climate objectives.

Dowa Holdings provides only limited insight into its climate-related public-policy engagement. It references working with Japan’s Ministry of the Environment on a “Fluorocarbon Destruction Model Project” and notes the Japanese government’s “Plan for Global Warming Countermeasures,” suggesting some interaction with policy development, but it does not identify any specific bills or regulations it tried to influence or confirm that these are the only areas of engagement. The disclosure names the Ministry of the Environment as a counterpart, yet offers no information on how that engagement occurred—such as meetings, written submissions, or participation in consultations—so the methods and breadth of its lobbying remain unclear. Finally, while the company sets internal carbon-neutrality and interim emissions-reduction goals, it does not spell out any concrete policy changes it seeks from government, leaving the intended outcomes of its policy activity unstated.
