Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	Hakuto Co Ltd has implemented a formal internal approval process for its policy engagement activities, reporting all “政策的エンゲージメント活動を検討する場合” to an “ESG/SDGｓ経営委員会に報告され” and having the committee “気候関連戦略と整合したエンゲージメント内容を検討し決定しております” to ensure alignment with its climate strategy. The company extends this oversight to its climate-related volunteer initiatives—before participating in the Kanagawa forest restoration partnership, it confirms that the activity meets its climate objectives and “確認の上、社内で承認を得て参加している.” This demonstrates a clear committee-level governance structure and a defined internal review and approval mechanism. However, the company does not disclose a named individual responsible for lobbying oversight, any specific process for managing direct versus indirect policy advocacy, nor details on the frequency or criteria by which its ESG/SDGs Management Committee monitors or audits these engagement activities.
