Hakuhodo DY Holdings Inc

Hakuhodo DY Holdings Inc has established a formal governance mechanism through its Sustainability Committee, which "decides the company's climate change strategy" and ensures that decision-making "includes alignment with climate change policy trends." This approach is reinforced by its environmental management system, in which the "cooperation status of departments involved in specific policies" is "regularly confirmed" for consistency with the approved climate-change strategy. However, the company does not disclose any processes specifically governing its direct lobbying activities, nor does it describe how it reviews or manages the positions of trade or industry associations. We found no evidence of a dedicated audit or third-party review of climate lobbying alignment, and no individual beyond the Sustainability Committee is named as responsible for oversight or sign-off on these engagement efforts.
