Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Comprehensive	Takasago Thermal Engineering provides a thorough and specific picture of its climate-policy lobbying. The company names several distinct initiatives it has engaged with, including Japan’s Hydrogen Value Chain Promotion Council under the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, participation in the GX League that supports carbon pricing and emissions trading enabled by the GX Promotion Law, and local-government plans such as the Ishikari City Global Warming Countermeasure Promotion Plan, while also linking its work to the national Regional Decarbonization Roadmap. It also makes clear how it tries to influence those policies: direct participation in national councils, collaboration within the GX League, and project-based agreements with specific sub-national authorities such as Ishikari City, Ibaraki Prefecture and Hiroshima Prefecture, thereby identifying both the mechanisms used and the governmental targets of those efforts. Finally, the company sets out the concrete results it is seeking—advancing the 2050 Carbon-Neutral Green Growth Strategy, activating a domestic carbon-pricing scheme and emissions trading market, and helping local governments realise “Zero-Carbon City” declarations through projects like a hydrogen-powered microgrid. This level of detail across policy focus, methods and desired outcomes demonstrates comprehensive transparency around its climate-related lobbying activities.	4
