Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	Nippon Light Metal provides a clear account of the specific climate policies it has engaged with, naming “The Energy Conservation Act,” “The Law Concerning the Promotion of Measures to Cope with Global Warming,” and “Carbon tax” in Japan. However, it offers only general references to its lobbying approach—mentioning “engagement with policy makers” and that it “works to compliance environment law”—without detailing whether this involved meetings, written submissions, or targeted entities. The company further states its stance as “Support with no exceptions” for these policies but does not describe the precise regulatory or legislative changes it seeks. Overall, the disclosure demonstrates thorough identification of the policies lobbied while remaining limited in explaining the mechanisms of influence and the specific outcomes desired.	C
