Lobbying Governance

GMO Payment Gateway signals that it applies some governance to the climate-related aspects of its policy engagement: it states that "our parent company, GMO Internet Group, has established a Sustainability Promotion Committee, chaired by the Chairman of the Board, President and CEO, which meets approximately once a quarter," and it answers “Yes” when asked whether it has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." These disclosures indicate both an oversight body with named senior leadership and an explicit commitment to keep external engagement consistent with Paris-aligned climate objectives, suggesting that some review mechanism exists. However, the company does not disclose the concrete procedures the Committee uses to review direct lobbying or how it assesses the climate positions of trade associations, nor does it explain any escalation, corrective action, or auditing steps; therefore, details on monitoring and alignment for indirect lobbying remain absent.
