Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Comprehensive	Toyota Industries Corp has provided comprehensive transparency around its climate lobbying activities. It explicitly names the policies it engages with, including the national greenhouse gas reduction target of cutting emissions by 46% by 2030, the Ministry of the Environment’s “CO2排出削減対策強化誘導型技術開発・実証事業,” and the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry’s “ＧＸリーグ基本構想.” The company details its lobbying mechanisms, describing its direct collaboration with the Ministry of the Environment and Iwatani Corporation to advance demonstration projects under the Ministry’s initiative and conducting demonstration trials at Kansai International Airport to optimize hydrogen infrastructure safety and performance. It also sets out clear outcomes sought—promoting the realization of a hydrogen society, advancing fuel cell forklift technology through cost, efficiency, and durability improvements, and establishing safety and maintenance protocols—efforts that align explicitly with Japan’s 2030 emissions reduction goal.	4
