Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	Seino Holdings has made a clear public commitment to align its engagement activities with the goals of the Paris Agreement, answering “Yes” when asked if it has a “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.” It further describes its internal governance process, noting that “当社が推進する政策については、役員連絡会および取締役会にて内容を報告し、指示・承認のもと実行しており、当社の気候変動変動関連の取組の方向性とも一致しているかも含めて議論されております,” which shows that policy proposals are reported to an executive liaison meeting and the Board of Directors for instruction, approval, and discussion of consistency with its climate-change initiatives. This indicates a structured review mechanism and oversight by formal bodies. However, the company does not disclose any processes specific to managing indirect lobbying through trade or industry associations, nor does it identify a named individual responsible for overseeing lobbying alignment, which limits the transparency and scope of its lobbying governance framework.

Moderate	Seino Holdings has provided a clear overview of its key climate policy engagements. It names the “2050年カーボンニュートラルに伴うグリーン成長戦略” (Green Growth Strategy for Carbon Neutrality by 2050) promoted by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and discloses its participation in the two-trillion-yen Green Innovation Fund. The company explains that it is collaborating directly with METI and participating in a large-scale demonstration project from 2023 to 2029, underpinned by subsidies from the Green Innovation Fund, identifying METI as its target entity and demonstration projects as its mechanism. It is explicit about the outcomes it seeks—reducing electrification, energy, and infrastructure costs to drive adoption of commercial electric vehicles and building a system for their widespread deployment alongside automakers, infrastructure providers, and logistics partners—demonstrating a comprehensive view of its policy objectives.
