Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Sanyo Special Steel provides a reasonable level of detail about its climate-policy lobbying. It explicitly names multiple instruments it has engaged on – including the Electricity Act & Rules, the Energy Conservation Act, the Renewable Purchase Obligation and participation in the Science Based Targets initiative – showing clear transparency about the regulations and standards it seeks to influence. The company also describes the way it interacts with policymakers, noting direct engagement with a government distribution company and a solar-energy supplier to obtain approvals for installing and purchasing electricity from clean-energy projects; however, only this single example of mechanism and target is given, so the description of lobbying channels remains limited. Finally, it specifies the concrete results it is pursuing, such as securing approval for clean-energy installations and advancing energy-efficiency enhancement solutions, which demonstrates that it has articulated desired outcomes rather than making only general statements. Overall, the disclosures give moderate insight into the company’s climate-related lobbying activities but stop short of outlining multiple engagement methods or a broader set of intended policy results.	2

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Sanyo Special Steel Co Ltd discloses 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” to this question. However, the company does not disclose any governance structures or processes for its lobbying or policy-engagement activities, such as oversight bodies, named individuals responsible for reviewing alignment, or monitoring and management procedures for ensuring advocacy efforts remain consistent with its climate objectives. We found no evidence of how it governs either direct or indirect lobbying or of any formal review or sign-off mechanisms for policy engagement.	1
