| Strong | Nagase & Co. Ltd. provides a high level of transparency about its climate-policy lobbying. It identifies concrete Japanese legislation it engages with, including the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures and the Act on the Rationalization of Energy Use, and aligns its activity with the government’s 46 % greenhouse-gas reduction target for 2030. The company also explains how it engages: it takes part in the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s Zero Emission Challenge, collaborates directly with policymakers under the two acts, and advocates legislative solutions such as mandatory carbon-reporting rules, naming the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as a primary target. Finally, Nagase is explicit about what it wants to achieve—supporting the national 46 % reduction goal, endorsing carbon neutrality by 2050, and backing compulsory carbon-disclosure requirements—demonstrating clear policy positions and desired outcomes. While the narrative does not give granular detail on individual meetings or submissions, it still offers solid evidence of the policies addressed, the engagement channels used, and the specific climate outcomes sought, reflecting strong overall disclosure of its climate lobbying activities. | 3 |
