Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
Limited Suzuki Motor Corp indicates in its disclosures that it "has a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," answering "Yes" to that question. This demonstrates a stated policy to align its lobbying and policy engagement with climate objectives. However, we found no evidence of any formal governance process, as the company does not disclose oversight structures or defined review procedures, specific individual or committee responsible for monitoring these activities, and no details on how it manages direct or indirect lobbying to ensure consistency with its commitment.

Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
Limited Suzuki Motor Corp provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It identifies a single engagement – signing an MOU with the State of Gujarat at the India-Japan Economic Forum – and clearly names its counterparties, noting that the agreement was reached in the presence of Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Fumio Kishida. The disclosure also links this activity to India’s ambition of “Achieving carbon neutrality in India in 2070” and cites a focus on alternative fuels. However, it stops after this one example: no additional mechanisms, forums, or jurisdictions are described. Likewise, the company does not spell out concrete policy asks or legislative changes it is pursuing, offering only the broad aspiration that “Suzuki's future mission is to achieve carbon neutrality with small cars.” As a result, while the company demonstrates some transparency by naming the setting, partners and overall climate objective of one lobbying effort, it does not provide detailed information on multiple policies, a range of engagement channels or the specific outcomes it seeks.
