Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Strong	Tokyo Century Corp has disclosed two specific climate-related policies it engages with — the “Joint Crediting Mechanism” (JCM) system and the “GX League Basic Concept” launched by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry — including its focus on “voluntary emissions trading” and “market rules formation.” It describes its direct engagement mechanism, notably attending guideline explanation meetings and exchanging opinions on draft emissions trading guidelines with the GX League Secretariat. Tokyo Century clearly articulates the outcomes it seeks: “achieving CO2 reductions” by “introducing Japan’s low-carbon technologies to partner countries,” ensuring those reductions are counted toward national targets; contributing to the “refinement and sophistication of system design” for voluntary emissions trading; and supporting its phased rollout — a “trial phase starting in 2023, full-scale operation by 2026, and further expansion by 2033.” These disclosures demonstrate a strong level of transparency around its climate lobbying activities.	3

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Tokyo Century Corp reports a “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” answering “Yes” when asked “Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?”. This indicates it has at least a stated policy pledge. However, the company does not disclose any individual or formal body that oversees this commitment, nor does it describe any process for monitoring, reviewing or managing its lobbying or engagement activities, and no evidence is provided of mechanisms to ensure alignment of either its direct or its indirect lobbying with its Paris-aligned position.	1
