Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	Otsuka Corp discloses that it uses its "サステナビリティ委員会を中心にISO14001環境マネジメントシステムに対応した社内体制を利用し、モニタリングしている" and that "その結果を経営層が確認し、一致させている", demonstrating a defined internal mechanism whereby the Sustainability Committee monitors external engagement and senior management reviews results to ensure they are consistent with the company’s climate commitments. The company also confirms that it has a "public commitment ... to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," signalling an explicit policy intention to align advocacy with Paris-aligned objectives. This indicates a governance structure with oversight for aligning engagement activities, but the disclosure does not describe how the monitoring is carried out in practice, provides no evidence of reviewing or managing the climate positions of trade associations, and offers no detail on corrective actions when misalignments arise, so the transparency and scope of the lobbying governance remain limited.
