Sony Group Corp

Sony Group Corp has implemented a structured approach to align its policy engagement with its climate strategy by holding a "Global Environmental Meeting" annually to "learn, discuss and align on the environmental strategy" and convening "Regional Environmental meetings" in each region, requiring "Regional Environmental Officers ... to submit a monthly report" and "BU Environmental Officers ... to submit a bi-annual report" on policy engagement activities, and mandating that "the content of policy engagement activity is escalated to the HQ Environmental Office and HQ Government Affairs for prior approval". The company also confirms a public commitment to conduct engagement activities "in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement". We found no evidence of oversight by a specific individual or board-level committee for climate lobbying, no processes addressing indirect lobbying through trade associations, and no external audit or public report evaluating the alignment of its lobbying with its climate goals.
