Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Makita Corp provides only limited insight into its climate-policy lobbying. It indicates that it engages through two channels—membership in the Japan Electrical Manufacturers’ Association (JEMA) and direct dialogue in which it “provided information to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries … and engaged in discussions with them.” The direct engagement names a specific government ministry, but no policymaking target is identified for its work via JEMA, and no additional mechanisms are described. The company identifies just one policy focus, the promotion of electrification in the agricultural sector as part of Japan’s decarbonisation effort, without referring to any particular law, bill or regulation. Similarly, its stated objective is broadly to advance electrification and support JEMA’s 2050 carbon-neutral roadmap, yet it does not spell out concrete legislative changes, quantitative targets, or amendments it seeks. As a result, the disclosures offer only a partial picture of what Makita is lobbying for, how it is doing so, and the specific outcomes it hopes to achieve.	1

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
None	Makita Corp does not disclose any governance process for lobbying; it only states that “当社の気候変動対策を含めたサステナビリティに関する理念および当社の事業活動にマッチしているかを基準に、協働先を選定している,” which pertains to selecting external partners based on their sustainability alignment rather than any oversight of advocacy activities. We found no evidence of any policy, monitoring procedure, or named individual or committee overseeing direct or indirect lobbying alignment with its climate commitments.	0
