Hyakugo Bank provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. The disclosures acknowledge engagement with broad policy frameworks—such as Japan’s carbon-neutrality goal for 2050, the 全銀協イニシアチブ on climate-related reporting, and endorsement of the TCFD—but they do not identify any specific pieces of legislation or regulatory proposals the bank has tried to influence. The mechanisms described focus largely on commercial instruments like the "Green Deposit" and "Hyakugo Sustainable Loan," collaboration with local governments, and "business matching" services for clients; while these illustrate how the bank promotes decarbonisation, they stop short of explaining how, or to whom, the bank actually lobbies within government. Finally, the outcomes cited—such as achieving "net-zero GHG emissions by 2030" for its own operations and arranging "¥1 trillion in sustainable finance"—are internal or client-facing targets rather than clear policy changes the bank seeks to secure through advocacy. Taken together, the information shows some acknowledgement of climate policy engagement but provides little concrete detail on the specific policies, lobbying channels, or legislative results the bank is pursuing.
