Chiba Bank Ltd/The

Chiba Bank Ltd confirms that it has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," answering "Yes" to that question, which indicates a stated promise to align its advocacy with the Paris goals. However, the company does not disclose any specific governance processes for its lobbying activities: there is no description of how direct or indirect lobbying is monitored or managed, no oversight structures or named individual or body responsible for reviewing lobbying alignment, and no evidence of trade association reviews or board sign-off of lobbying plans. We found no evidence of any procedure for ensuring its lobbying aligns with its climate commitments, nor any internal or external audit of its policy advocacy.
