Mitsubishi Chemical Group Corp states that it has “a public commitment … to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement” and says that, under its “Policy for Achieving Carbon Neutrality by 2050,” it has “incorporated a strategy to address climate change issues” and pledged to “accelerate our efforts to reduce GHG emissions throughout our product chain,” adding that this policy is used “to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy.” These statements show an intention to align policy engagement with climate objectives, indicating some level of lobbying-alignment governance. However, the disclosures provide no detail on how this alignment is implemented: there is no explanation of procedures for reviewing or approving specific lobbying positions, no information on whether trade associations are assessed or managed, and no named individual or board committee responsible for oversight. Without evidence of monitoring mechanisms, oversight structures, or concrete processes for direct and indirect lobbying, the governance framework appears limited and largely declarative rather than operational.
