Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Comprehensive	Daito Trust Construction provides a highly detailed picture of its climate-related lobbying. It identifies several concrete policy instruments it has worked on, including the ZEH policy goals in Japan’s 5th Basic Energy Plan, the roadmap for low-carbon, low-cost (LCCM) rental apartments, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism’s Sustainable Building Leading Project (Low-CO2 type), and it explains its role in the ZEH Roadmap Review Committee. The company also spells out how it lobbies: membership in government advisory committees, presentation of technical research to officials, formal opinion exchanges, and direct requests for new policy frameworks, all directed at a clearly named target, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Finally, it is explicit about the concrete outcomes it seeks—establishing LCCM certification standards for multi-unit housing, widening subsidy eligibility to cover such buildings, and accelerating ZEH adoption in the rental sector—and notes that several of these recommendations were adopted in 2022. Taken together, these disclosures demonstrate comprehensive transparency across the policies addressed, the methods and targets of engagement, and the specific policy changes the company is pursuing.	4

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Daito Trust Construction Co Ltd has stated that it has a "public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," responding "Yes" when asked to confirm this. However, the company does not disclose any mechanisms for oversight, such as naming an individual or committee responsible for policy engagement, nor does it describe any review or approval processes for its lobbying activities. We found no evidence of how it ensures alignment of either direct lobbying or indirect lobbying through industry associations with its climate objectives, indicating limited transparency around how the commitment is operationalized in practice.	1
