Ajinomoto Co Inc

Ajinomoto Co. Inc. states that it has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement ... Yes," which indicates an intention to align its policy advocacy with international climate goals. However, the evidence describing its governance structures - such as the creation of the "Sustainability Advisory Council (SAC) as a subordinate body of the Board of Directors" and the "Sustainability Committee as a subordinate body of the Executive Committee" - focuses on broad sustainability materiality, risk and opportunity assessment, and strategic direction, without specifying any mechanisms for reviewing or managing direct or indirect lobbying activities. There is no disclosure of procedures to monitor or audit lobbying alignment, no reference to how trade-association positions are assessed, and no identification of an individual or committee explicitly charged with overseeing lobbying conduct. Consequently, while the public commitment suggests awareness of the need for climate-aligned engagement, the company does not disclose the processes, oversight, or accountability measures that would demonstrate a structured lobbying-governance framework.
