NEC Corp

NEC appears to have a defined process to govern its climate-related advocacy, mandating that "members of the Business Strategy Council, which discusses and finalizes climate strategies of the entire NEC group, will be directly involved" whenever the company "engages with climate change policy makers," and noting that it has "secured the consistency between each engagement activity and our group's strategies across business divisions and geographies, by enforcing company rules" requiring this Council participation. The company further outlines that its "Environmental Management Promotion Committee" drafts climate policies, the "Corporate Officer in charge of the Environment confirms the council's proposals and reports them to the Business Strategy Committee," and that "participation in TCP was reported to the Business Strategy Committee and the Board of Directors, and the President approved the revision of the 2030 targets," indicating multiple layers of board‐level and executive oversight. NEC also affirms - "Yes" - that it has a public commitment to align its engagement activities with the goals of the Paris Agreement. However, we found no evidence of a specific process to assess or manage the positions of its industry associations, leaving its indirect lobbying alignment unaddressed.
