Nichias Corp provides only limited insight into how it governs climate-related lobbying. In its response it states that it is a member of Keidanren, noting that the federation is “strongly promoting carbon-neutral activities toward 2050” and that “当社でも2021年4月にカーボンニュートラル宣言を公表し、経団連と同じく2050年のカーボンニュートラルに向けて活動を行っております,” which indicates an intention that its indirect advocacy through this association be consistent with its own climate goal. The company also explains that climate matters are overseen internally: progress on risk responses is “認識したうえで、必要に応じて取締役会で審議” by an Environment Committee chaired by the President. However, the disclosure does not describe any specific mechanism for monitoring or reviewing either its direct lobbying positions or the positions taken on its behalf by Keidanren, nor does it outline criteria for assessing alignment, escalation procedures, or potential corrective actions. In short, while the company signals that it aligns itself with an association that shares its 2050 carbon-neutral objective, it does not disclose a formal lobbying-governance framework, dedicated oversight of policy engagement, or any systematic process to ensure ongoing alignment; these omissions mean only basic evidence of alignment is provided.
