Azbil Corp

Azbil Corp has implemented a structured process to govern its indirect climate-related lobbying by third parties, explaining that "When reviewing participation in external organizations, we regularly examine whether there is a significant contradiction with our thinking and direction, and if there is a large deviation, we consider withdrawing." These reviews are "deliberated and decided in the Management Meeting when a judgment is required," and the company "shares information with our chief risk officer (CRO) with the approval of the aG director in charge of environmental protection innovation, and also report to the Management Meeting," which demonstrates clear oversight and sign-off mechanisms for its association memberships. However, Azbil does not disclose a corresponding framework for managing its own direct lobbying activities in line with its climate commitments, nor does it publish a dedicated climate-lobbying audit or review outlining how it monitors policy engagement beyond participation in the Japan Climate Initiative.
