Direct Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Comprehensive Fujitsu Ltd has demonstrated a comprehensive level of transparency in disclosing its climate lobbying activities. The company has clearly identified specific climate policies it engaged with, such as the "Draft Sixth Basic Energy Plan," "Carbon Tax and Emissions Trading System," and the "Green Growth Strategy" in Japan. It also disclosed its involvement in the Japanese government's energy mix review, including proposals like "Setting a goal of reaching a 50% renewable energy ratio by 2030," "Phasing out inefficient coal-fired power plants," and "Recommending the environment be improved to enable off-site corporate PPAs." Additionally, Fujitsu has been transparent about its lobbying mechanisms, detailing its engagement through the Japan Climate Leaders' Partnership (JCLP) and direct dialogues with the Ministry of Environment, as well as presenting an "opinion statement for the G7 Ministers' Meeting on Climate, Energy and Environment in Sapporo and Hiroshima Summit." The company has also clearly articulated the outcomes it seeks, such as "decarbonizing the power sector by 2035," "accelerating the maximum introduction of renewable energy," and "achieving an early phase-out of coal-fired power generation without emission reduction measures." These disclosures reflect a high level of clarity and alignment with broader climate objectives, showcasing Fujitsu's commitment to transparency in its climate lobbying efforts. 4
Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Strong Fujitsu demonstrates a strong governance process for climate lobbying alignment, as evidenced by its mechanisms to ensure engagement activities align with its overall climate change strategy. Specifically, "the Department of Environment, which promotes environmental management throughout the Fujitsu Group, is responsible for analyzing whether direct and indirect policy collaborations are consistent with the Group's climate change strategy." This analysis is further reviewed and discussed by the "Sustainability Management Committee, which is chaired by the CEO and composed of the heads of business groups, regions, and sustainability departments, which meets periodically twice a year." These structures indicate clear oversight and accountability for climate lobbying alignment. Additionally, Fujitsu has implemented internal education programs to "ensure a thorough understanding of these strategies, and efforts are made to avoid any discrepancies," further reinforcing its commitment to alignment. While the evidence does not mention a published lobbying audit or detailed study, it provides robust details on monitoring, responsible parties, and alignment processes, which indicates strong governance. 3
