| Limited | Nabtesco provides only limited insight into its climate-policy lobbying. It references working on “Emissions – CO2” through an environmental conservation agreement with the municipality of Tarui in Gifu Prefecture and states broad support for renewable-energy generation in Japan, but it does not name any specific statutes, regulations or bill numbers, nor does it confirm that these are the only policies with which it engages. The company describes the way it engages as “緊密な連携” (close collaboration) with Tarui town and notes participation in the Japan Climate Initiative, but it gives no further detail about the concrete tools used (such as formal meetings, written submissions, or consultations) or the government bodies reached through the coalition. The objectives it discloses are likewise general—such as “温室効果ガスの排出の抑制” (reducing greenhouse-gas emissions), “グリーン購入及びグリーン調達” (green purchasing and procurement), and encouraging Japan to play a larger global role on climate change—without specifying measurable targets or legislative changes it seeks. As a result, the company’s disclosure reveals that some lobbying takes place but leaves most of the policy names, methods of influence, and concrete outcomes unarticulated. | 1 |
