Iljin Electric provides only limited insight into how it governs climate-related advocacy. In response to a question on external engagement, the company states that “ILJIN maintains consistency among all environmental, energy, and greenhouse gas (GHG) related issues in conjunction with the company's overall environmental strategic goals” and explains that “the Carbon Neutrality Committee is convened at least once a quarter for periodic monitoring, direction setting, and reporting on climate change issues,” with “important matters… reported to the CEO and board of directors.” This indicates the existence of an internal body that reviews climate matters and a formal escalation route to senior leadership. However, beyond noting that the Committee “discusses major issues and communicates the results to the relevant departments for further progress,” the disclosure does not clarify whether these reviews cover direct lobbying positions, trade-association memberships, or any other policy-influencing activity, nor does it describe criteria for assessing alignment or actions taken when misalignments arise. The company even admits in an earlier answer that “We don't have any plans yet” for ensuring engagement activities conform to the overall climate strategy, suggesting the process is still nascent. Consequently, while a quarterly committee and board oversight are referenced, we found no evidence of a structured mechanism that actively monitors or enforces alignment of either direct or indirect lobbying with the company’s climate commitments.
