Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Ibiden Co Ltd demonstrates a moderate level of transparency in its climate lobbying disclosures. It identifies broad policy areas such as "carbon neutrality efforts," requests for "the formulation of a roadmap for the realization of carbon neutrality," and "issues of domestic energy composition and the direction of next-generation energy initiatives," though it does not cite specific laws or regulations by name. The company explains that it engages as an expert member of the Energy and Environment Committee of the Chubu Economic Federation, describing how it "compiles proposals among companies in the Chubu region" and submits them to "related ministries, lawmakers, and local governments in the Chubu region," providing clarity on its mechanisms and target audiences but without detailing multiple distinct tactics or individual policymakers. Finally, Ibiden is clear about the outcomes it seeks—namely the "formulation of a roadmap for the realization of carbon neutrality," "support for social implementation," and addressing "issues of domestic energy composition and the direction of next-generation energy initiatives"—aligning its lobbying objectives with national climate targets and the Paris Agreement.	2

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
None	Ibiden Co Ltd does not disclose any governance process for aligning its lobbying or policy engagement activities with its climate commitments. In response to the prompt to “Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy,” the company states only that it is “making efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reflecting the global warming countermeasure implementation plan of Gifu Prefecture in our medium-term goals,” without providing any detail on how direct or indirect lobbying is monitored or managed. We found no evidence of a named individual, committee, or any formal oversight structure or review mechanism to ensure its external engagement activities align with its climate transition plan.	0
