Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	IHI Corp offers only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. The company does not name any specific climate policies, legislation or regulations it has tried to influence, referring only in broad terms to “laws, policies, regulations, and so on relating to climate change” and compliance requirements such as Japan’s Energy Conservation Act, without indicating that it has lobbied on them. Its description of engagement mechanisms is likewise sparse: the only concrete example is an executive visit to Indonesia where the company “introduced the IHI Group’s carbon solutions business… to government agencies and exchanged opinions,” which shows a form of direct outreach but stops short of identifying which agencies were approached or how frequently such engagement occurs. Beyond general aspirations—such as “The IHI Group pledges to achieve carbon neutrality for its entire value chain by 2050” and the aim of developing an ammonia value chain—the disclosures do not clarify what policy changes or regulatory outcomes the company is advocating. As a result, while there is a brief acknowledgement of contact with governmental bodies, the company provides virtually no detail on the policies it seeks to influence or the outcomes it wants to achieve, leaving its overall lobbying transparency at a limited level.	1

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	IHI Corp discloses some governance structures related to climate change and external engagement activities, but the evidence does not explicitly detail a comprehensive lobbying governance process. The company mentions that the Environment Committee deliberates on climate change countermeasures and reports to the ESG Management Promotion Committee, with feedback disseminated throughout the group. However, this framework appears focused on internal climate governance rather than lobbying alignment. Additionally, the Corporate Planning Department monitors policies and measures, including climate change, and provides opinions to relevant organizations, but there is no explicit mention of how lobbying activities are aligned with climate commitments or managed. The evidence does not describe mechanisms for monitoring or enforcing alignment of lobbying activities, nor does it identify specific individuals or committees responsible for overseeing lobbying governance. While the company has a public commitment to align engagement activities with the Paris Agreement goals, the governance framework for lobbying is not clearly defined or disclosed.	1
