Score 2 - Moderate
Full assessment

SK Hynix explains that it has embedded governance for climate-related engagement within senior decision-making bodies, stating that "climate strategy and engagement decision-making systems are integrated into the Continuing Management Committee and ESG Management Committee, and engagement is aligned with this," and that the ESG Management Committee is "comprised of key executives including the CEO" who "share in-depth discussions on mid-to-long-term ESG strategy direction and specific action plans." It also affirms a "public commitment...to conduct [its] engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement" and notes that a unit "dedicated to ESG Strategy" sits "directly under the CEO," signalling clear oversight for ensuring external activities are consistent with climate objectives. These disclosures indicate a formal process and named governance bodies that oversee alignment of external engagement with climate strategy, which suggests moderate governance strength. However, the company does not disclose how these committees specifically review or monitor lobbying positions, offers no detail on procedures for assessing or influencing trade-association advocacy, and provides no publicly available lobbying-alignment report; accordingly, evidence of active management of direct and indirect lobbying remains limited.

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.
