Morinaga Milk Industry Co Ltd
- Paris Agreement alignment
- Direct lobbying governance
Morinaga Milk Industry provides minimal evidence of a lobbying governance framework; it offers only a general CSR structure and a high-level climate commitment without detailing how lobbying activities are overseen or aligned. It states "Through the CSR Committee chaired by the president, Morinaga Milk is promoting CSR activities throughout the entire Group" and that "In 2016, the CSR Promotion Department was established as a special department with company-wide functions for organizing CSR activities...," but these references describe CSR governance, not lobbying oversight. It also confirms "Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?[...]Yes," which indicates a broad policy intent. However, we found no evidence of any formal processes or responsible parties to monitor, review, or enforce alignment of direct or indirect lobbying with its climate policy, nor any named oversight of lobbying alignment.
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 Asia-Pacific or all companies in Japan.
