Ito En discloses a basic mechanism to keep its climate-related advocacy aligned with its corporate targets, noting that “当社社長は、昨年度に引き続き一般社団法人全国清涼飲料連合会の要職に就いており、業界団体の気候変動戦略策定に主導的に関与しています,” which identifies the company president as the senior individual who oversees and directly shapes the industry association’s climate strategy. It further explains that “この業界団体の戦略に沿う形で計画を立て、業界団体戦略と当グループ戦略の方向性は一致しています,” indicating an explicit practice of aligning the group’s own climate plans with the association’s strategy, thereby demonstrating a concrete—albeit limited—process for managing indirect lobbying alignment. This indicates some governance strength because an accountable executive is named and a method of ensuring consistency is described; however, the company does not disclose any formal review cycle, written policy, or monitoring criteria for its direct lobbying, nor does it mention audits, escalation procedures, or board-level oversight, so the overall framework for lobbying governance remains fairly limited.
