Lobbying Governance

Takara Holdings discloses a basic oversight mechanism to keep its external policy engagement in line with its climate objectives, stating that “弊社担当部署と担当役員が内容の確認を行い、弊社の取り組みおよび計画と矛盾なく協働することを確認している,” which shows that a designated department and an assigned executive review proposed collaborations with external organizations to ensure they do not conflict with the company’s climate-related initiatives and plans. This indicates the presence of both a process for alignment and named oversight, suggesting more than minimal governance. However, the disclosure does not explain how the review is conducted, how often it occurs, whether direct lobbying activities are assessed alongside indirect trade-association lobbying, or whether any corrective actions are mandated when misalignment is found. Consequently, while the company demonstrates some structure and accountability, it does not provide a detailed monitoring framework or evidence of systematic alignment of both direct and indirect lobbying activities with its climate commitments.
