Corporate Climate Policy Engagement in Japan

The Japanese government has announced a 2050 carbon neutrality target in 2020, followed by a raised 2030 emissions reduction target in 2021. Corporations in Japan are extensively involved in influencing the shape and ambition of Japan’s emerging climate policies to deliver on these emissions reduction targets. This platform provides accessible analysis of these influencing activities, drawn from a database of over 5,500 data points.

The diagram below maps out the climate policy engagement of the largest companies operating in Japan which are most significant to climate change (see here) for how these companies are chosen).

The ‘Climate performance band’ charts the overall position of the company towards Paris-aligned climate policy, from most oppositional (left) to most supportive (right). The ‘Engagement Intensity’ expresses how actively a company is engaging with climate policy, with the most engaged companies at the top of the graph.
