Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corp

NTT Group has established a formal oversight framework for aligning its climate-related engagement with stated sustainability objectives, highlighted by a "Sustainability Committee (chaired by the president and chief executive officer) directly reporting to the Board" and an Environmental Protection Office that "monitors the differences with NTT Group's climate change strategy ... and to ensure that engagement activities are in line with NTT Group's climate change strategy." The company also affirms a "public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." These elements indicate a clear policy commitment and a designated body for overseeing indirect lobbying through industry associations. However, the company does not disclose any specific processes for governing its direct lobbying activities, such as board sign-off on lobbying plans or defined criteria for evaluating advocacy positions, nor does it provide a detailed audit or reporting mechanism assessing its lobbying alignment with its climate strategy.
