Sharp Corp/Japan
- Board oversight
- Named executive owner
- Direct lobbying governance
Sharp Corp/Japan has established a process for ensuring that its external engagement activities align with its climate commitments through oversight by its newly launched Sustainability Committee. According to the company, "シャーム- ã®ç'°å¢ƒã«å¯¾ã™ã‚‹ã‚³ãƒ¼ãƒãƒ¬ãƒ¼ãƒˆæ©Ÿèƒ½ã§ã‚る『CEOオフィス ESG・å"質æ‹...å½"ã€ã‚'ä¸å¿ƒã«ç¤¾å†...ã§è°è« - ã‚'進ã‚ã€ä»£è¡¨å - ç· å½¹ç¤¾é•·ãŒå§"å"¡é•·ã‚'å‹™ã‚る『サステナãƒ"リティå§"å"¡ä¼šã€ã§ãã®æŒ‡é‡ãŒç¢ºèªã•ã‚Œã€æœ€çµ‚çš„ã«çµŒå - ¶å±¤ã®æ‰¿èªã‚'å¾ - ã¦ã„ã¾ã™." The Sustainability Committee, "which is chaired by the president & CEO of Sharp and comprises members of top management, Head Office divisions such as environment, personnel, and procurement, business units, and subsidiaries," embeds policies and reviews proposed positions in trade associations, and "reports important policies and decisions to the Board of Directors." While this framework demonstrates a clear mechanism for reviewing and approving indirect lobbying through industry bodies and identifies a named committee and executive roles, the company does not disclose any process for governing its direct lobbying activities or a publicly available audit of its climate lobbying alignment.
