Score 4 - Comprehensive
Full assessment

President Chain Store Corp demonstrates a comprehensive governance process for climate lobbying, ensuring alignment with the goals of the Paris Agreement and the global low-carbon transition. The company explicitly states that "all climate lobbying activities should be consistent with the Paris Agreement and the goal of limiting global temperature rise to a maximum of 1.5⁰C compared with pre-industrial levels," and this commitment applies across all subsidiaries and operational areas. It has established a robust review mechanism, stating that "public policies implemented by industry associations and lobbying activities that we participate in are reviewed annually" to assess alignment with the Paris Agreement. If inconsistencies are identified, the company commits to "communicate with the public associations within half a year" and, if necessary, "terminate its participation in the public association." Furthermore, the company has a clear process for oversight and approval, requiring that "industry associations and lobbying activities follow the Company and its subsidiaries' internal evaluation procedures before reporting to the President or above for approval." The results of these activities are disclosed annually, ensuring transparency. This indicates strong governance of both direct and indirect lobbying activities, with clear monitoring mechanisms, accountability structures, and alignment enforcement processes in place.
