Score 2 - Moderate
Full assessment

Otsuka Corp discloses that it uses its "サステナãƒ"リティå§"å"¡ä¼šã‚'中心にISO14001ç'°å¢ƒãƒžãƒã‚¸ãƒ¡ãƒ³ãƒˆã‚·ã‚¹ãƒ†ãƒ に対応だ- た社å†...ä½"制ã‚'利ç"¨ã - 、モニタリングだ- ている" and that "その結果ã‚'経å - ¶å±¤ãŒç¢ºèªã - 、一致させている", demonstrating a defined internal mechanism whereby the Sustainability Committee monitors external engagement and senior management reviews results to ensure they are consistent with the company's climate commitments. The company also confirms that it has a "public commitment ... to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," signalling an explicit policy intention to align advocacy with Paris-aligned objectives. This indicates a governance structure with oversight for aligning engagement activities, but the disclosure does not describe how the monitoring is carried out in practice, provides no evidence of reviewing or managing the climate positions of trade associations, and offers no detail on corrective actions when misalignments arise, so the transparency and scope of the lobbying governance remain limited.

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.
