- Paris Agreement alignment
- Direct lobbying governance
Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd expresses a commitment to align its policy engagement with its climate strategy, stating "we committed SBTi" and confirming a public position to conduct engagement activities "in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." However, the company does not disclose any internal process or oversight structure - such as a review, sign-off, or monitoring procedure - for lobbying activities, nor does it name any individual or committee responsible for ensuring that its engagement aligns with its climate objectives, and there is no evidence of any mechanism to manage or audit its direct or indirect lobbying channels.
This assessment is part of the Lobbying Governance Index, covering 8,500 companies scored on whether they have processes to oversee their climate lobbying. See all companies in Asia-Pacific or all companies in Japan.
