Comprehensive | FUJIFILM Holdings provides an unusually detailed picture of its climate-related lobbying. It names multiple specific measures it has worked on, including the introduction of Japan’s “power wheeling system,” participation in the “Keidanren Carbon Neutral Action Plan,” and compliance with the “Energy Conservation Law in Japan,” as well as engagement in the Ministry of the Environment’s campaign “Growing Momentum for Carbon Neutrality among Companies.” The company also spells out how it seeks to influence policy: it “regularly engage[s] with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, and the Ministry of the Environment of Japan on energy efficiency policy,” cooperates in annual government surveys, sends its CEO to make public presentations, and joins collective dialogues such as Japan Climate Initiative sessions with the Minister of the Environment. Finally, it is explicit about the outcomes it pursues, having championed the power-wheeling reform “effective in cutting peak electric power use,” urged the government to raise the 2030 renewable-energy share to 40–50 percent, and backed higher national emissions-reduction targets, describing its stance as “Support with no exceptions.” Taken together, these disclosures demonstrate a comprehensive level of transparency on the policies addressed, the channels used, and the concrete changes FUJIFILM seeks in climate legislation. | 4 |
