Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
None Samsung Card Co Ltd outlines its ESG strategy and notes that “responding to climate change has been incorporated as a key issue in our ESG strategy” with regular monitoring of related performance and disclosure in its sustainability management report, but the company does not disclose any governance processes for lobbying or policy engagement. We found no evidence of a defined process to align its direct or indirect lobbying activities with its climate strategy, no reference to oversight or review by a specific individual or committee, and no described mechanism for monitoring or managing lobbying alignment with company goals.

Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
Limited Samsung Card provides limited but concrete information on its climate-policy engagements. It discloses that it has “voluntary participation in the K-EV100 organized by the Ministry of the Environment in 2021” and references involvement in a Ministry-led “business agreement ceremony for the spread of carbon-neutral living practices,” making clear which initiatives it supports and the government body involved. However, the company does not explain how it sought to influence these policies—there is no mention of meetings, letters, consultations, or other channels—only a general statement that it is promoting the switch to eco-friendly vehicles, so the mechanisms and audiences for any lobbying remain largely unspecified. Likewise, while it states an internal target to “gradually convert 100% of its business vehicles and vehicles under auto financing to green vehicles by 2030” and frames this as contributing to a carbon-neutral society, it does not articulate the legislative or regulatory changes it wants policymakers to adopt. As a result, the disclosure gives a clear picture of which policies Samsung Card is linking itself to but offers minimal insight into the way it lobbies or the specific outcomes it seeks from government action.
