Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Holdings has a limited governance process for climate-related engagement, centered on broad participation and alignment commitments but lacking specific oversight or monitoring mechanisms. For example, the company notes that “CCBJH participates in meetings of various industry groups including the Japan Soft Drink Association and is implementing activities to achieve the Japanese government's goal of carbon neutrality by 2050,” and that it “also participates monthly in the Coca-Cola Global Environment Council ... to promote environmental initiatives in line with the common climate change goals ... fully aligned with the Paris Agreement on Climate change.” While the company affirms a public commitment “to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” we found no disclosure of a named individual or formal committee responsible for reviewing engagement or lobbying alignment, no description of how direct and indirect lobbying are monitored or managed, and no process for assessing or exiting industry associations that may conflict with its climate strategy. This indicates that while there is a stated alignment commitment, the framework for oversight and detailed governance of lobbying activities remains undefined.
