Lobbying Governance
| Overall Assessment | Analysis | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Moderate |
Uchida Yoko Co Ltd’s governance of its climate-related lobbying appears limited, relying solely on its participation in industry associations without a formal climate-alignment commitment or oversight structure. The company explicitly states that “No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years,” indicating no public alignment with the Paris Agreement, and describes its process as “当社が加盟する業界団体を通じて政策および法規制等に対する働きかけを推進しています.” It further explains that “当社役員や従業員が団体の役員やメンバーとして参加し、その事業内容、政策方針と当社グループ戦略との整合を図るべく活動しています,” showing an indirect lobbying mechanism to align association positions with its strategy. However, we found no evidence of any named individual or formal body overseeing these activities, no dedicated review or monitoring procedure for climate-specific lobbying, and no disclosure of how direct lobbying is managed. This indicates that while the company has a basic mechanism for indirect policy influence, it lacks a structured process to ensure its lobbying is aligned with its climate objectives.
