Samsung Electronics Co Ltd

Samsung Electronics Co Ltd demonstrates a moderate level of governance in its lobbying activities, particularly in relation to climate change. The company outlines that its CEO is responsible for ensuring engagement activities align with its climate change strategy, supported by the Sustainability Council, which includes heads of business units and functional teams tasked with establishing strategies. "The Environmental Management Task Force develops and oversees environmental management tasks including climate change responses, monitors relevant issues at individual business sites, and explores ways to resolve them." Additionally, Samsung Electronics engages indirectly through the Korea Display Industry Association (KDIA), where it has conducted climate change-related activities, communicated opinions to the government, and participated in research meetings on reduction activities. "SDC presidents served as the 3rd, 5th, and 7th presidents of the Display Industry Association," indicating leadership roles in indirect lobbying efforts. However, while these activities suggest alignment with climate goals, the company does not disclose a detailed process for monitoring or managing lobbying alignment, nor does it provide evidence of a formal review mechanism or a publicly available lobbying audit/report. Furthermore, while the Board of Directors and Governance Committee oversee sustainability management broadly, there is no explicit mention of their role in reviewing lobbying alignment specifically. This indicates that while some governance structures are in place, they lack comprehensive detail and transparency regarding lobbying governance processes.
