Kubota Corp outlines a structured approach to aligning its external engagement activities with its climate strategy, stating that "IR / ESG / Environmental departments cooperate with the questionnaire from the ESG evaluation organization to respond" and that "evaluation results from ESG evaluation institutions and issues obtained from institutional investors are analyzed by related departments, and items for which responses are insufficient are examined for improvement." The company further notes that it will "exchange opinions with institutional investors and analyze the divergence between our climate change efforts and stakeholder expectations" and "participate in the activities of external organizations that promote climate change response in Japan, and express our opinions on climate change response to the Government of Japan." Kubota also confirms that it has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." However, the company does not disclose a named individual or committee responsible for overseeing these activities, nor a formal sign-off or audit process specific to lobbying, and we found no criteria for evaluating its indirect advocacy through industry or trade associations.
