Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Hwaseung Enterprise provides only a modest level of transparency on its climate-policy lobbying. It does identify a concrete policy focus—the "Clean Energy Transition Program under PDP8 of Government of Vietnam"—which confirms that it has engaged on a specific piece of climate legislation, but it does not mention any other climate policies. The company is clearer about how it engages, noting that it "support[s] the Clean Energy Transition Program" and that it participates in "various working groups on policy initiatives of [the] fashion industry in different countries." It also names the primary Vietnamese decision-makers it seeks to influence, listing "The Ministers of: Natural Resources and Environment, Industry and Trade, Transport, Agriculture and Rural Development, Construction and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee," thereby revealing both the mechanism (direct support and working-group participation) and the targets of its outreach. However, it stops short of explaining the concrete policy changes or outcomes it is pursuing; beyond a broad statement that its activity is "aligned with the Paris Agreement," no specific amendments, targets or regulatory positions are disclosed. As a result, while the company gives some insight into the policy it engages on and the channels it uses, the overall picture of its lobbying objectives remains limited.	1

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Hwaseung Enterprise has established a basic governance process for its climate-related engagement with policymakers by mandating that its "Sustainability Board Committee quarterly reviews Climate Change related risks, initiatives and performance" and that the same committee "reviews engagement activities with external stakeholders which includes engagement with government of Vietnam". It also confirms a "public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement" with the response "Yes". This demonstrates that a formal board-level committee oversees direct policy engagement and that there is at least a commitment to align those activities with global climate goals. However, the company does not disclose any specific policy documents, criteria, or procedures that guide these reviews, it provides no evidence of monitoring or alignment processes for indirect lobbying through trade associations, and no individual owner is named as responsible for ensuring lobby alignment. We found no evidence of a structured climate-lobbying policy or detailed alignment framework beyond these high-level board reviews.	2
