Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Kanagawa Chuo Kotsu provides a moderate level of transparency around its climate-related lobbying. It explains how it seeks to influence policy, describing three distinct channels—taking part in environmental meetings in its service area, collaborating with local municipalities, and submitting joint proposals to Japan’s national government—and it identifies the targets of those efforts as both municipal authorities and the central government. However, the company gives only broad descriptions of the subject matter of its engagement, saying it offers “recommendations on decarbonization plans” and requests “policies and subsidies” without naming any specific laws, regulations or draft bills. Likewise, it indicates that it seeks action on decarbonisation and related financial support but does not spell out the concrete legislative or regulatory outcomes it wants to achieve. The result is a clear picture of how and with whom the company lobbies, but only general insight into what policies it addresses and what precise changes it is advocating.	2

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
None	Kanagawa Chuo Kotsu Co Ltd does not disclose any internal governance process or oversight for lobbying. In response to "Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?", the company states "No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years," indicating that it has no alignment policy or process. We found no evidence of any policy, review mechanism, or designated individual or committee overseeing lobbying activities, whether direct or indirect, nor any mechanism to ensure alignment with climate-related objectives.	0
