Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Strong	Pan Pacific International Holdings provides a clear and fairly detailed account of its climate-related lobbying. It identifies the specific laws it has tried to influence, naming both the draft “プラスチックに係る資源循環の促進に関する法律” (Law for Promoting Resource Circulation in Plastics) and planned revisions to the “廃棄物処理法” (Waste Management and Public Cleansing Law). The company also discloses the channels it used: it lobbied directly through meetings with officials from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of the Environment, engaged “members of the Japanese Diet,” and worked indirectly via the Japan Chain Store Association’s environment committee. Finally, it is specific about what it wanted to achieve, seeking the “promotion of resource circulation in plastics,” an exemption from industrial-waste collection licence requirements, and a relaxation of provisions in the waste-disposal law to enable “自主回収” (voluntary take-back of PET bottles and food trays by manufacturers and retailers). Taken together, the company demonstrates a strong level of transparency about the policies it targets, the methods and audiences of its lobbying, and the concrete regulatory outcomes it is pursuing.	3

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Pan Pacific International Holdings Corp affirms a “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement” and details that its GMS unit “ユニー(株)は、JCA内に設置されている『環境部会』のメンバーとして、気候変動を含む環境関連の政策に関する情報収集および意見交換の場である『環境部会』に出席している.” It explains that “法令の制定・改正については、業界の要望として取りまとめを実施のうえ環境省や経済産業省に提出する,” and that “JCAはそこでの議論を踏まえて会員の意見をまとめ政策提案を実施する,” reflecting a structured process to align its indirect lobbying through its trade association. However, the company does not disclose any internal oversight body or named individual responsible for reviewing or managing these lobbying activities, nor does it describe any governance or monitoring of its own direct lobbying efforts to ensure consistency with its climate commitments.	2
