Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Euglena Co. Ltd provides only a basic picture of its climate-policy lobbying. It identifies one concrete initiative—Japan’s “GX League Basic Concept”—and generally references work on “alternative fuels” and membership in the TCFD Consortium, but it does not spell out particular bills or regulations it has tried to influence, nor does it clarify that these are the only climate policies on which it engages. The company describes indirect methods such as “participating in discussions toward the operation of the GX League as a supporting company” and indicates that it “engage[s] with policymakers” to expand domestic demand for biofuels, yet it does not name the specific ministries, legislators, or fora it approaches, or detail whether it uses meetings, letters, submissions, or other formal channels. Similarly, its stated objectives remain broad—“We aim to promote social change toward carbon neutrality and the creation of new markets” and a desire to secure “equal government support” for overseas-manufactured biofuels—without quantifiable targets, timelines, or proposed legislative language. Because the disclosures stop short of identifying exact policies, lobbying channels, or clearly defined policy outcomes, the company’s transparency on climate lobbying is limited.	1

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Euglena Co Ltd confirms a “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” answering “Yes” to that question, and has established a “Sustainability Committee [that] functions as an advisory body to the Board of Directors” to discuss “various sustainability policies, goals, strategies and countermeasures,” including “climate risks and opportunities.” However, we found no evidence that this Committee or any other body oversees the company’s lobbying activities, nor does the company disclose any process for monitoring, managing or aligning its direct or indirect lobbying with its climate goals. There is no named individual or formal governance mechanism charged with reviewing lobbying alignment, no description of review or sign-off procedures, and no mention of how the company ensures its trade associations’ positions support its Paris-aligned objectives, indicating limited transparency around its lobbying governance.	1
