Direct Lobbying Transparency

Moderate | Nexen Tire Corp demonstrates a moderate level of transparency in its climate-policy lobbying disclosures. It clearly names the Emission Trading System of Korea—detailing its inception in 2015, the current 2021–25 phase, and the 90% free allocation of allowances—thereby providing an identifiable focus for its policy engagement. The company outlines its lobbying mechanisms, citing methods such as “directly suggest[ing] to government agencies whenever related laws and guidelines are revised” and “participat[ing] in public hearings and briefing sessions on climate-related issues,” although it refers generically to “government agencies” without specifying particular bodies. Its stated policy objectives include supporting mandatory climate-related reporting and proposing an alternative GHG emission allocation mechanism—“a multi-emission company can be restrained according to the characteristics of the company”—and it affirms its alignment with the Paris Agreement. This combination of specificity around a key policy, clear description of engagement methods, and articulation of distinct outcomes sought reflects a moderately comprehensive disclosure of its climate lobbying activities. | 2 |
