Toray Industries Inc

Toray Industries has established robust climate oversight structures - including a Sustainability Committee "chaired by the president" and a Climate Change Subcommittee - and "progress on these activities is regularly reported to the Board of Directors, which appropriately monitors the Group's climate change prevention measures." The company also "holds discussions and pursues dialogue with affiliated economic organizations, industry associations, and government, working with these entities to achieve the goals of carbon neutrality and the Paris Agreement by 2050," and it confirms "Yes" when asked, "Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?" However, we found no evidence of a specific policy or review process to ensure that direct and indirect lobbying efforts are aligned with its climate policy, no formal sign-off mechanism for lobbying positions, and no named individual or committee with explicit oversight of lobbying governance. The company does not disclose any mechanism for managing its trade association memberships or monitoring its lobbying activities against its climate goals.
