Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	KEPCO Plant Service & Engineering Co Ltd provides some insights into its governance structure related to climate change, but there is limited evidence of a specific lobbying governance process. The company mentions that its mid- and long-term plans include "engagement with governmental policy makers, supply chain, customers, etc." and that these plans are approved by the board of directors. It also states that "management goals including GHG reduction strategy" are granted to the CEO in accordance with in-house regulations. The CEO and Vice Presidents are described as overseeing various climate-related management areas, such as GHG reduction and renewable energy business opportunities, with weekly meetings hosted by the CEO to discuss trends and impacts. However, while these disclosures indicate a focus on climate-related strategy and oversight, there is no explicit mention of mechanisms, monitoring, or accountability measures to ensure alignment of lobbying activities with climate goals. Additionally, the company does not disclose any processes for reviewing or managing indirect lobbying through trade associations or industry bodies. The evidence does not provide details on how lobbying activities are monitored or aligned with the company's climate commitments, nor does it describe a specific individual or committee tasked with overseeing lobbying alignment. This indicates limited governance in the area of lobbying, particularly climate-related lobbying. View Sources	D

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Strong	KEPCO Plant Service & Engineering discloses a broad and detailed picture of its climate-policy engagement. It names several identifiable policies, including the Korean “RE100 system” introduced by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, proposals channelled through the domestic “New & Renewable Energy Council” to reform laws governing offshore wind power, and the Philippines’ “National Renewable Energy Program 2020-2040,” clearly showing where it intervenes. The company also explains how it engages: it participates in the New & Renewable Energy Council’s meetings with Korea’s Ministry of Industry, the CEO has met the Philippine Vice-Minister of Energy, and it “continues to provide evidence such as data necessary for establishing government policies in the form of government advice and responses,” giving at least two concrete mechanisms and naming the government bodies targeted. Finally, it states the specific changes it seeks, such as to “propose improvements on domestic and foreign procurement, transportation-related laws, systems, and infrastructure” to expand offshore wind in Korea, and to support the Philippines’ aim of supplying 35 % of power from renewables by 2030 and developing hydro projects. Together, these disclosures demonstrate a strong level of transparency about the company’s climate-related lobbying activities, even though not every engagement is accompanied by a measurable target or a third distinct lobbying mechanism.
