Direct Lobbying Transparency

Moderate | Itoki Corp provides a moderate level of transparency around its climate-policy lobbying. It identifies the specific policy framework it has engaged with, naming the “Green Purchasing Law” and describing participation in the “GX League,” METI’s platform for discussing carbon-pricing mechanisms. The company also explains how it lobbies: it responds to ministry hearings during guideline revisions under the Green Purchasing Law and engages indirectly through its membership in the GX League, clearly pointing to the ministries and to METI as its targets. While it states that it supports the Green Purchasing Law "with no exceptions" and aligns its activity with the Paris Agreement, it does not spell out concrete amendments, targets, or other detailed policy outcomes it seeks. As a result, the disclosures give solid visibility into what policies are being addressed and how the company interacts with policymakers, but offer only broad statements about the objectives it is pursuing. | 2 |
