Comprehensive	JGC Holdings Corporation demonstrates a comprehensive level of transparency regarding its climate lobbying activities. The company has clearly named specific climate policies it has engaged with, including Japan's "2050 Carbon Neutral" strategy, the "2030 national greenhouse gas emissions reduction target," the "GXリーグ(経済産業省主導)" initiative, the "持続可能な航空燃料(SAF)の導入促進に向けた官民協議会" (Public-Private Council for Promoting the Introduction of Sustainable Aviation Fuel), and the "燃料アンモニア導入官民協議会" (Fuel Ammonia Introduction Public-Private Council). These disclosures provide detailed information about the policy focus, such as alternative fuels and carbon taxes, and align with Japan's national climate goals.
