LY Corp discloses a public commitment to conduct its engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement, noting “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement? […] Yes,” which signals a stated promise to align lobbying with climate objectives. However, the company does not disclose any process for how these activities are monitored or managed, no specific individual or body responsible for oversight, and no mechanisms to ensure alignment of direct or indirect lobbying through industry associations. We found no evidence of a review procedure, detailed audit, or transparency report, indicating limited lobbying governance transparency.

LY Corp provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It notes that it engages on renewable-energy policy through participation in the RE100 Japan Policy Working Group and similar initiatives, but it does not name any specific statutes or regulatory proposals it has tried to influence, referring only in general terms to “renewable energy challenges in Japan” and the Tokyo Cap-and-Trade Program. The company explains its main channel of influence—collective advocacy via RE100, which “aims to amplify the collective voice of many companies expressing their desire to use renewable energy” —but it does not identify which ministries, agencies or individual officials are the targets of that advocacy, nor does it describe whether it submits letters, holds meetings, or takes other concrete lobbying actions. The outcomes it seeks are framed broadly; LY Corp says it wants to “advocate for the increased use of renewable energy” and is working toward “achieving our goal of 100% renewable energy consumption by 2040,” yet it does not spell out any measurable legislative amendments, subsidy levels, or timelines it is urging policymakers to adopt. Overall, the disclosures acknowledge participation in policy dialogue but stop short of detailing the specific policies addressed, the methods used, or the concrete policy changes sought, leaving stakeholders with only a partial picture of the company’s lobbying activity.
