Score 3 - Strong
Full assessment

Mitsui Chemicals demonstrates a strong governance framework for climate-related engagement by establishing formal oversight and coordination mechanisms. For example, "Participation in the GX League was decided after discussions in the Corporate Sustainability Committee, chaired by our President, and with the approval of the responsible officers. The activities of the GX League are reported as and when appropriate to the Corporate Sustainability Committee," indicating board-level review and reporting. The company also confirms "Yes" when asked if it has a public commitment to align its engagement activities with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Its process description explains that "業界団ä½"(経団連、æ - ¥æœ¬åŒ - 学工業会)やæ"¿åºœé - ¢ä¿‚省庁(経済ç"£æ¥­çœã€ç'°å¢ƒçœç­‰ï¼‰ã®ä¼šåˆã«ã¯ç©æ¥µçš„ã«å‚åŠ ã - 、å½"ç¤¾ã®å - 組が国際的なãƒ'リå"定のæ - ¹é‡ã«æ²¿ã£ã¦ã„るものであるã"と、また業界や国のæ - ¹é‡ã¨ã‚‚æ•´åˆæ€§ãŒå - れているã"とã‚'確認だ- ている" and that "å½"社のæ - ¹é‡ã¯ESG推進室および経å - ¶ä¼ç"»éƒ¨ãŒä¸­å¿ƒã¨ãªã‚Šã€é - ¢ä¿‚各部の意見集約・調整ã‚'行っている," showing how both direct engagements with ministries and indirect work through industry bodies are monitored by dedicated functions. However, we found no evidence of a publicly available, in-depth audit or third-party review of its climate lobbying alignment or a defined, recurring evaluation cycle for these activities.
