Full assessment

Kakao Corp discloses only a high-level commitment regarding the alignment of its policy engagement with climate goals, stating that it has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement" and referencing that it "announced our goal of achieving Net Zero in GHG emissions by 2040 on a consolidated basis which was set in line with the SBTi." This indicates the company has at least acknowledged that its external engagement activities should support the Paris Agreement, suggesting an intention to keep lobbying consistent with its overall climate strategy. However, the evidence does not describe any concrete governance mechanisms - there is no information on who oversees or approves lobbying positions, how alignment is monitored, whether trade-association stances are reviewed, or whether results are reported to the board or publicly disclosed. In short, the company publicly commits to Paris-aligned engagement but does not disclose the processes, oversight structures, or monitoring practices that would demonstrate a more robust lobbying-governance framework.

This assessment is part of the Lobbying Governance Index, covering 8,500 companies scored on whether they have processes to oversee their climate lobbying. See all companies in North America or all companies in United States.
