Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Comprehensive	Secom Co. Ltd provides an exceptionally detailed picture of its climate-related lobbying. It names multiple concrete government programmes it has worked on, including the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s “平成30年度需要家側エネルギーリソースを活用したバーチャルパワープラント構築実証事業,” the Ministry of the Environment’s “環境情報開示試行事業” and its “Blockchain Technology Renewable Energy CO2 Emission Reduction Value Creation Model Project,” as well as its broader support for mandatory carbon-reporting rules. The company also explains exactly how it engages, stating that it participates in these government-run demonstration or pilot projects as, for example, a battery-storage installer and disclosure pilot participant, thereby directly interacting with Japan’s Agency for Natural Resources and Energy and with the Ministry of the Environment. Finally, it is explicit about the policy changes it seeks: advancing virtual power plant technology to enable renewable energy storage and peak-shaving, creating a trading system for the environmental value of CO2 reductions via blockchain, and “正確な環境情報の公開を制度化することで…低炭素経済への移行促進を支援しています,” underscoring its intent to embed accurate environmental disclosure regulations that accelerate the low-carbon transition. This level of specificity across the policies addressed, the means of engagement, and the outcomes pursued demonstrates a comprehensive degree of transparency in the company’s climate-policy lobbying.	4

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Secom Co Ltd states that it has “a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” responding “Yes” when asked if it aligns its engagement in line with the Paris Agreement. However, the company does not disclose any details on the specific individuals or committees responsible for overseeing lobbying alignment, nor does it describe any formal process, monitoring mechanisms, or review procedures to ensure that its lobbying activities are consistent with that commitment. We found no evidence of named oversight bodies, defined review cycles, or mechanisms for aligning both direct and indirect lobbying efforts with climate policy objectives, indicating limited governance transparency.	1
