Samsung SDI Co Ltd

ISIN: KR7006401004 | South Korea | Asia-Pacific
Score 2 - Moderate
Full assessment

Samsung SDI has established a limited governance process for its climate-related lobbying through indirect channels, but it does not disclose oversight for direct lobbying or robust monitoring procedures. It notes that "Samsung SDI expresses position on domestic and foreign policies through the Battery Industry Association and participates in policies aligned with its strategies," and that "participation in external position statements...is decided through approval by the relevant departments and executives," indicating a departmental sign-off mechanism for trade association engagements. The mention that "an executive from the Safety and Environmental Infrastructure Team in charge of climate change management attended the Carbon Neutrality Committee for Electronics and Electrical Industry held in March 2021" highlights involvement by a climate-focused department. However, the company does not disclose any process for reviewing direct lobbying activities, nor does it name a specific individual or formal body responsible for ongoing oversight, and we found no evidence of periodic monitoring or a dedicated climate-lobbying policy beyond these approval steps.
