Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Strong	Kajima Corp has demonstrated transparent disclosure of the specific climate-related policies it has engaged with, clearly naming initiatives such as the “温暖化対策予算（地球温暖化対策のための税）,” its efforts to establish and deploy systems to “濃縮・乾燥プロセスにおけるCO2排出量を半減するシステムの確立と普及,” and proposals to expand “SBTを検討する上でCO2排出量算出支援、SBT認定支援等拡充の提案.” Its descriptions of the outcomes sought are equally detailed—ranging from providing “意見・要望” to the Ministry of the Environment on budget utilization, to achieving “CO2排出量を5割以下に低減し、地球温暖化防止に寄与する濃縮・乾燥装置の実証機の検証と展開方法の検討を実施している,” and advancing support for CO2 accounting and SBT certification. However, the company’s disclosures around the mechanisms of its lobbying activities are more limited. It cites participation in a public-private dialogue—“環境政策の円滑な推進をテーマとする環境省幹部との官民懇談会に、環境分野を担当する幹部がメンバーとして参加している”—but offers no further detail on additional letters, meetings, or targeted consultation processes. Overall, Kajima Corp provides robust clarity on what it is lobbying for and why, but less comprehensive detail on how those engagements are conducted.	3

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Kajima Corp discloses a public commitment to align its engagement activities with the goals of the Paris Agreement, stating “Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement? […] Yes.” It further describes how “Kajima Environmental Vision 2050plus is being implemented by the Environment Committee, which is a specialized body under the Sustainability Committee,” and that “The progress status of relevant initiatives is regularly reported to the Board of Directors through the Sustainability Committee.” However, we found no evidence of any policies or processes specific to the governance of lobbying activities, no disclosure of how direct or indirect lobbying is reviewed or aligned with its climate goals, and no identified individual or formal body charged with overseeing lobbying alignment, indicating limited governance for its climate-related lobbying efforts.	1
