Direct Lobbying Transparency
| Overall Assessment | Comment | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Strong | Hankyu Hanshin Holdings provides clear transparency around its climate lobbying by specifying both its methods and targets, its policy engagements, and the outcomes it seeks. It establishes a liaison window with government (“都市交通部門のなかに行政との連携窓口を設けて”), engages in “国土交通省・環境省との意見交換,” collaborates on policy proposals and campaigns, and leverages subsidies to advance energy-saving measures. The company identifies its focus on “公共交通の利用促進や省エネ促進などに関わる政策” and the “COOLCHOICEプロジェクトにおける公共交通の利用促進キャンペーン” at the national level under Japan’s climate adaptation framework. It further articulates its goals—promoting public transport use and reducing environmental impact by alleviating traffic congestion—and explicitly aligns these efforts with achieving Japan’s Paris Agreement targets, demonstrating a high level of transparency in its climate-policy lobbying activities. | 3 |
