Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Johnson Electric’s disclosures indicate initial steps to align its policy engagement with its climate change strategy, but they lack details on formal governance structures for lobbying. The company reports that “we have been working directly with the local authority for influencing on the increasing of availability of renewable energy in Guangdong province where our major manufacturing plants operate,” and notes that “we have a process in place for the stakeholder engagement communication” which is “ensured through our climate change assessment.” It also confirms a public commitment to align its engagement with the Paris Agreement objectives, answering “Yes” to having a “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.” However, we found no evidence of any specific oversight body, named individual, or committee responsible for reviewing or approving these engagement activities, nor any description of how alignment is monitored or enforced beyond a broad assessment.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Johnson Electric offers only limited visibility into its climate-policy lobbying. It signals one concrete engagement, saying it worked “directly with the local authority” in China to influence renewable-energy availability in Guangdong province, but it does not name the specific regulation or programme it sought to shape, nor does it describe any lobbying around the EU ETS, CBAM or other schemes it references only in the context of compliance. Apart from this single instance of direct contact with a local authority, the company provides no further detail on mechanisms such as letters, consultations or industry-association activity, and it identifies no other policymaking targets. The desired outcome is stated only in general terms—more renewable electricity in Guangdong—without measurable objectives or a clear policy position. Because disclosures lack specific policy names, multiple mechanisms or clearly articulated legislative outcomes, overall transparency on climate lobbying remains modest.	1
