Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Strong	Ebara Corp provides a clear picture of its climate-policy lobbying. It identifies the national legislation and initiatives it works on, naming Japan’s Climate Change Mitigation Act and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s GX League emissions-trading trial, and situating both within Japan’s policy framework. The company describes how it seeks to influence these measures, detailing three distinct channels—active participation in the GX League, submission of opinions on draft guidelines, and direct collaboration with the Environmental Economics Office of METI—so both its mechanisms and its governmental targets are explicitly disclosed. It also explains what it hopes to achieve, stating that it advocates for the creation of robust GHG calculation systems, formal reduction targets, and a functioning emissions-trading execution framework, while declaring full support for the Climate Change Mitigation Act and alignment with the Paris Agreement. Taken together, these disclosures reveal a strong level of transparency about the substance, methods and objectives of the company’s climate lobbying.	3

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
None	Ebara Corp’s climate ambitions, such as its “55% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHGs in 2030 on a 2018 basis,” were “deliberated by the 2021 Executive Committee and Sustainability Committee and approved by the Board of Directors,” reflecting oversight of corporate climate targets. However, the company does not disclose any processes or policies for governing its lobbying activities or ensuring that direct and indirect advocacy efforts align with its climate change strategy. We found no evidence of a dedicated lobbying-review procedure, no criteria for assessing participation in trade or industry associations, and no named individual or formal body responsible for overseeing climate-related lobbying alignment. The company does not disclose how it monitors or manages engagement with policymakers, leaving a gap in accountability for its policy influence activities.	0
