Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
Limited Nichirei Corp offers only a modest level of transparency around its climate-related lobbying. It does name two specific Japanese climate policies on which it engages—the domestic Energy Conservation Law (under which it submits “国内省エネ法におけるエネルギー使用量、および中長期計画に関する定期報告”) and the “日本国内におけるフロン排出抑制法” governing fluorocarbon emissions—clearly identifying the legislation involved. With respect to mechanisms, the company explains that it fulfils its obligations by submitting regular statutory reports on energy use and medium- to long-term plans “所管省庁に報告しています,” indicating at least one concrete channel and naming the government ministry generically as the target; however, it provides no further detail on how it seeks to influence policymakers beyond these compliance reports, and no mechanism is described for its engagement on the fluorocarbon law. On outcomes, Nichirei states only that it pursues energy-saving activities “国内省エネ法の優良事業者(Sクラス)認定の基準達成を意識しながら” and that it supports the fluorocarbon regulation in line with the Paris Agreement, but it does not articulate any specific amendments, targets, or policy changes it is advocating. As a result, while the company discloses the legislation it interacts with, it gives limited insight into its lobbying techniques or the concrete policy outcomes it seeks.
