Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Comprehensive	Daiwa House Industry provides extensive, specific disclosure about its climate-policy lobbying. It names multiple Japanese laws it has engaged on, including the “Special Measures Law on Procurement of Renewable Energy Electricity by Electric Utilities (FIT Law),” the “Act on the Promotion of Use of Non-Fossil Energy Sources and Effective Use of Fossil Energy Materials by Energy Suppliers (Energy Supply Structure Sophistication Act),” and the “Energy Efficiency Law for Buildings,” as well as related energy-attribute certificate systems, clearly identifying each policy and its jurisdiction. The company also explains how it lobbies and whom it approaches, noting that it was designated by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy as one of nine environmentally advanced companies for “regular exchanges of opinions” on legal challenges, that it “participated in discussions with policymakers” on revising energy-efficiency standards, and that it interacts with “electricity business operators,” thereby detailing several direct and indirect mechanisms and naming a specific governmental target. Finally, Daiwa House is explicit about what it seeks to achieve: it “supports with no exceptions” the referenced laws, backs “raising energy efficiency standards and mandatory compliance,” advocates establishing fixed-price purchase systems for renewable power, promotes more effective use of energy resources, and calls for “relaxation of detailed calculation requirements that impose significant operational burdens on building owners.” By laying out the precise policies, the modes of engagement, the authorities approached, and the concrete outcomes it pursues, the company demonstrates a comprehensive level of transparency around its climate-related lobbying activities.	4

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Daiwa House Industry Co Ltd states that it has a “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” answering “Yes” when asked if it aligns its lobbying with the Paris goals. However, the company does not disclose any governance structures or processes for monitoring or managing its lobbying activities, it does not name an individual or formal body with oversight, and it provides no detail on how either direct or indirect policy engagement is reviewed or aligned with its climate commitments, indicating limited transparency around the implementation of this commitment.	1
