Full assessment

Kuraray outlines a defined, albeit relatively high-level, process for governing its climate-related policy engagement, stating that "クラレグルーム- ã®æ° - 候変動戦略はサステナãƒ"リティå§"å"¡ä¼šãŠã‚ˆã³ãƒªã‚¹ã‚¯ãƒ»ã‚³ãƒ³ãƒ - ライアンスå§"å"¡ä¼šã®ä¸¡å§"å"¡ä¼šã‚'軸にグルーム- å...¨ä½"のæ - ½ç­ - ã‚'進めている" and that, for external engagement, reports are submitted to the "サステナãƒ"リティå§"å"¡ä¼š" which is "社長ã‚'å§"å"¡é•·" so that the committee "グルーム- å...¨ä½"ã®æ° - 候変動戦略との適合ã‚'監督だ- 、指示ã‚'åæ˜ ã - ている." This indicates a formal mechanism - regular reporting to a President-chaired Sustainability Committee - to oversee whether lobbying or other engagement aligns with the company's climate strategy, and clearly identifies who holds oversight responsibility, signalling moderate governance. However, the disclosure does not describe how alignment is evaluated in practice, whether indirect lobbying through trade associations is reviewed, or any escalation or corrective measures where misalignment is found, so the transparency and breadth of the governance framework remain limited.

This assessment is part of the Lobbying Governance Index, covering 8,500 companies scored on whether they have processes to oversee their climate lobbying. See all companies in North America or all companies in United States.
