Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Rohm Co. Ltd. offers only a modest level of transparency on its climate-related lobbying. It does reveal the focus of its engagement, describing work through the Japan Climate Initiative that targets the Japanese government’s greenhouse-gas reduction goals, and it sets out the changes it wants to see—namely a more “ambitious 2030 target aligned with the Paris Agreement” and a clean-energy strategy capable of delivering “40-50 % renewable energy.” These statements give a reasonable picture of the outcomes the company is pursuing. Yet the disclosure stops short of outlining concrete lobbying tactics or naming the specific government bodies or officials approached; the only mechanism described is passive membership in the Japan Climate Initiative. With only one policy area identified and no detail on direct interactions, the company’s account of its lobbying activities remains limited.	1
