Score 2 - Moderate
Full assessment

Fujikura discloses a structured process to check that its policy-related external engagements are compatible with its climate objectives, indicating more than minimal governance but stopping short of a full, publicly reported lobbying-alignment system. The company explains that, before collaborating with outside bodies, "å¤ - 部組ç¹"とå"働活動ã‚'é - ‹å§‹ã™ã‚‹ã«ã‚たり、æ‹...å½"部署がå...±åŒæ´»å‹•å†...容の精査ã‚'行い、自社におã'ã‚‹æ° - å€™ã¸ã®å - 組や計ç"»ã«çŸ›ç›¾ã - ないã"とã‚'確認だ- ます", showing an explicit internal review of potential advocacy against its climate plan. The review then escalates to a cross-functional GX project "CTOが管轄だ- 、サステナãƒ"リティ部é - €ã€ç"Ÿç"£æŠ€è¡"部é - €ã€EHS部é - €ã€çµŒå - ¶ä¼ç"»éƒ¨é - €ãŒå‚åŠ ã - ているGXム- ロジェクトにて、更なるå†...容の確認ã‚'行います", and is ultimately debated in the Sustainability Strategy Meeting, which "æ"¿ç­ - やエンゲージメントのå†...容がフジクラグルーム- のæ - ¹é‡ã¨ä¸€è‡´ã™ã‚‹ã‚ˆã†ã«åƒãã‹ã'...モニタリングã‚'定期的に行っています." This identifies both a named senior owner (the CTO) and a formal governing body (the Sustainability Strategy Meeting) that monitor alignment. Additional oversight is provided by the Fujikura Group Global Environment Committee, where "Responses to identified risks...are approved and decided...[and] results and plans are reviewed twice a year," reinforcing that engagement activities are revisited on a regular cycle. The company also notes its participation in the Japan Electric Wire manufacturers' association, which is pursuing a "Voluntary Action Plan for Environmental Conservation," suggesting attention to how its industry-association activity supports climate targets. However, Fujikura does not publish a dedicated lobbying-alignment report, offers no detail on how direct lobbying positions are tracked, and provides no examples of challenging or exiting misaligned trade associations; these gaps mean the extent of governance across both direct and indirect lobbying channels remains only partially disclosed.
