Score 1 - Limited
Full assessment

BIPROGY's disclosures indicate very limited governance over its lobbying and political engagement activities, with no evidence of climate-specific oversight or alignment processes. The company states that "Expenditures for donations to political groups and other organizations require advance approval through the prescribed system (ringi seido)", and reports that "In fiscal 2022, there were no expenditures for political donations or lobbying activities", which suggests that oversight is limited to a basic sign-off for spending rather than active monitoring of policy advocacy. While the company answered "Yes" when asked if it has a public commitment to conduct engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement, it does not disclose any mechanism to ensure lobbying alignment with that commitment. We found no evidence of a specific individual or formal body tasked with overseeing lobbying activities, no described process for reviewing direct lobbying efforts, and no indication of how indirect lobbying through economic organizations is assessed against the company's climate objectives. The absence of these details indicates that BIPROGY's governance framework for lobbying lacks defined oversight or alignment measures, particularly with respect to climate-related policy engagement.
