Score 2 - Moderate
Full assessment

Ryoden Corp discloses a specific internal mechanism for checking that its interactions with outside bodies are consistent with its climate strategy, stating that "æ° - 候変動é - ¢é€£ã®å¤ - 部組ç¹"とのå"働にあたっては、æ - °è¦äº‹æ¥­æŽ¨é€²å®¤ã«ãŠã„てå½"ç¤¾ã®æ° - 候変動にé - ¢ã™ã‚‹æˆ¦ç•¥ã‚„å - 組みと矛盾だ- ていないか確認、審議ã‚'è¡Œã„ã€å¤ - 部組ç¹"とのå"働の決定ã‚'行いまだ- た," and clarifying that the New Business Promotion Office "æ - °è¦äº‹æ¥­æŽ¨é€²å®¤ã¯ã€ã‚«ãƒ¼ãƒœãƒ³ãƒ‹ãƒ¥ãƒ¼ãƒˆãƒ©ãƒ«ç­‰ã€æ° - 候変動é - ¢é€£ã‚'含むæ - °è¦äº‹æ¥­ã‚'æŽ¨é€²ã™ã‚‹éƒ¨ç½²ã§ã‚ã‚Šã€æ° - 候変動é - ¢é€£ã®å¤ - 部組ç¹"とのå"働ã‚'図っています." This shows a defined process and identifies a named department responsible for reviewing and approving external engagements so they do not conflict with the company's climate objectives, indicating moderate governance of at least some indirect advocacy activities. However, the company "does not have a public commitment or position statement to conduct engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement" and "do[es] not plan to have one in the next two years," and it provides no information on how direct lobbying is monitored, whether trade-association positions are assessed, or whether board-level oversight exists. As a result, while a governance mechanism and responsible body are disclosed, the overall framework remains limited in scope and transparency.

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.
