Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Limited | Azbil Corp provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It indicates that it participates in collective initiatives such as the Japan Climate Initiative and Keidanren’s Challenge Zero, signalling indirect engagement with policymakers, but it does not describe how it uses these forums—such as meetings, submissions, or letters—nor does it name the government bodies or individual officials it targets. The company references broad policy areas, noting its support for the Japanese government’s carbon-neutrality agenda and citing domestic legislation like the Act on Rationalizing Energy Use and the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures, yet it does not clarify whether it sought to influence these specific laws or any other identifiable bill or regulation. Similarly, the objectives of its engagement are stated only in general terms—supporting carbon neutrality and encouraging lower CO₂ emissions—without spelling out concrete legislative changes, amendments, or targets it is advocating. Taken together, the disclosures reveal participation in climate-policy discussions but fall short of detailing the particular policies, lobbying channels and explicit outcomes pursued. | 1 |
