Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	Chugin Financial Group demonstrates a moderate level of transparency in its climate-policy lobbying. It identifies two specific policy frameworks—“岡山県環境基本計画エコビジョン２０４０” and the “地球温暖化対策の推進に関する法律に基づく地方公共団体実行計画及び気候変動適応法に基づく地域気候変動適応計画”—and details its role as a member of the “地球温暖化防止プロジェクト推進会議,” where it provides opinions, proposes necessary projects, and contributes to plan revisions directed at Okayama Prefecture’s administrative bodies and stakeholders. It sets forth a clear numerical target of a 17.7% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 2013 levels and aligns its positions with the Paris Agreement. While these disclosures offer clear mechanisms and a measurable outcome, they are limited to two policy engagements and one specific goal.	C
