MEIJI Holdings Co Ltd

MEIJI Holdings discloses a moderate governance framework for its climate-related lobbying activities, focusing on its indirect engagement through industry associations. It highlights that "The Meiji Group is a member of the Japan Food Industry Center and actively participates in its Sustainability Committee" and that it "regularly check[s] our climate change strategies and the activities of the organizations we affiliate to ensure alignment between them," with discrepancies "discussed and resolved in the Group Environmental Conference, which is linked to the Group Sustainability Committee chaired by our CEO." This indicates that a formal body chaired by the CEO oversees alignment between its climate policies and the positions of affiliated organizations. However, the company does not disclose any specific processes or oversight mechanisms for its direct lobbying activities, and its participation in seminars is described as an information-gathering exercise rather than a structured lobbying review. We found no evidence of board-level sign-off or a dedicated policy governing direct advocacy toward policymakers.
