Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	Chubu Electric appears to have some governance processes in place to ensure its external engagement is consistent with its climate commitments. It has a "public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement" (with a clear "Yes" response), and it describes that "日本経済団体連合会、電気事業連合会の報告内容が経営戦略本部から毎月、送配電協議会からの報告内容は中部電力パワーグリッドから適時に、それぞれ経営執行会議で経営層に報告・共有されています." This indicates a mechanism for monitoring indirect engagement via trade associations and industry bodies and sharing updates at the management executive meeting. However, the company does not disclose a specific individual or committee that oversees lobbying activities, nor does it explain how it evaluates or enforces alignment of its direct or indirect lobbying with its climate goals, or how it would address any misalignment in association positions.

Strong	Chubu Electric Power has disclosed specific details of its climate policy engagements, naming the GX-ETS national emissions trading system in Japan and discussions around a carbon tax. It explains that it “submitted opinions” as a GX-ETS business operator to the government carbon pricing review committee and engaged through the GX League initiative, clearly identifying how and to whom it lobbied. The company also specifies its desired policy outcomes—opposing the introduction of a carbon tax, promoting corporate funding for research and development of new emissions-reduction technologies, and shaping a GX-ETS design that balances carbon neutrality and economic growth under the S + 3E framework.
