Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co Ltd indicates that “当社は日本経団連の会員であり、また、非鉄金属の鉱業・製錬業の団体である日本鉱業協会（Japan Mining Industry Association/JMIA）メンバーでもあります” and that it participated in Keidanren’s “チャレンジ・ゼロ” initiative, noting that “当社は2020年に経団連のチャレンジゼロに賛同し、4つのテーマを具体的に掲げ参加しています.” It also confirms “Yes” when asked if it holds a public commitment to align its engagement with the goals of the Paris Agreement. However, the company does not disclose any formal governance process detailing how these external engagement activities are reviewed or monitored, does not name any specific individual or committee responsible for lobbying oversight, and provides no mechanisms to align its direct or indirect lobbying with its stated climate commitments.

Mitsui Mining & Smelting provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. The company indicates that it engages indirectly through industry groups such as the Japan Mining Industry Association and the Japan Climate Leaders’ Partnership and participates in the government-backed GX League, but it does not describe concrete tools such as meetings, submissions, or correspondence, nor does it identify the specific ministries or officials it seeks to influence. Its disclosures refer broadly to working on “Green Transformation” and information-sharing requests to the Japanese government, yet no individual bills, regulations, or rulemakings are named, so readers cannot see which pieces of legislation the company has tried to shape. Likewise, the firm reiterates high-level objectives such as achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 and expanding the use of recyclable raw materials, but it leaves unstated any precise policy changes, amendments, or quantitative targets it is advocating. This lack of detail on the actual policies, the lobbying channels used, and the concrete outcomes sought means the transparency of its climate lobbying remains limited.
