Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]To ensure consistency of climate policy engagement activities across business divisions and geographies throughout Sony group companies, we have several programs in place (annual, monthly and as-needed basis).
1. Global Environmental Meeting is held annually at the headquarters, in which all Business Unit Environmental Officers and also Regional Environmental Officers convene to learn, discuss and align on the environmental strategy including those on climate for the Sony group issued that year. Regional Environmental meetings are also held annually by each of Regional Environmental Offices (Japan, North America, Latin America, Europe, China, and Pan Asia) to which site members of the region, Regional Environmental Office members, as well as the headquarters members participate to further disseminate the environmental/climate strategy of the Sony group.
2. Regional Environmental Officers are required to submit a monthly report to the headquarters to report on environmental activities, regulatory developments and policy engagement activities conducted in their region. BU Environmental Officers are required to submit a bi-annual report to the headquarters to report the same for their Business.
3. The content of policy engagement activity is escalated to the HQ Environmental Office and HQ Government Affairs for prior approval as needed.
