Brother Industries Ltd discloses a limited governance process for its climate-related engagement activities, describing that it “collecting information on climate change policies and regulations, suggesting opinions, following up on industry activities such as ‘Low Carbon Society Implementation Plan’, reviewing industry long-term efforts, and participating as a member of the specialized technical committee,” and noting that “We are engaged in Electrical and Electronics Industries’ ‘Carbon Neutrality Action Plan’.” The company also offers conflicting statements regarding a commitment to Paris-aligned engagement, answering “Yes” to having “a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement” but later stating “No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years.” However, the company does not disclose any formal oversight structures, named individuals, board‐level or committee governance bodies, or specific procedures for monitoring or managing its direct or indirect lobbying activities, and we found no evidence of any audit, review, or corrective mechanism to ensure consistent alignment with its climate-change strategy. This indicates limited governance of its lobbying and advocacy processes.
