Daishi Hokuetsu Financial Group Inc

Daishi Hokuetsu Financial Group has implemented a governance framework for its external engagement through industry associations, overseen by its "Sustainability Promotion Committee, which is chaired by the President" and meets monthly ("12 meetings were held in fiscal 2023"). The company confirms it does have "a public commitment or position statement to conduct [its] engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," and it details that "å­éŠ€è¡Œã§ã‚ã‚‹ç¬¬å››åŒ - 越銀行が所属だ- ている業界団ä½"（å...¨å›½åœ°æ - ¹éŠ€è¡Œå"会、および同å"会のSDGs部会）での各種æ - ¹é‡ã‚„æ - ½ç­ - については、社長ã‚'å§"å"¡é•·ã¨ã™ã‚‹ã‚µã‚¹ãƒ†ãƒŠãƒ"リティ推進å§"å"¡ä¼šã«å®šæœŸçš„ã«å ±å'Šã - 、同å§"å"¡ä¼šã§ã®æ - ½ç­ - の検討・審議後、経å - ¶ä¼šè­°ã§ã®å¯©è­°ã‚'çµŒã¦ã€å - ç· å½¹ä¼šæ±ºè­°ã«ã‚ˆã‚Šæ±ºå®šã•ã‚Œã‚‹ãƒ - ロセスとなっている。" This process involves regular reporting to the committee, deliberation within that body, review at management meetings, and final approval by the Board of Directors, demonstrating structured oversight of indirect lobbying. However, the company does not disclose any governance process specific to direct lobbying activities or a third-party audit of climate-lobbying alignment, and no dedicated climate-lobbying review report is publicly available. We found no evidence of criteria for assessing its participation in associations whose positions may conflict with its climate commitments, indicating that while there is clear oversight for industry association engagement, the company's overall climate lobbying governance remains limited.
