Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Limited | BNK Financial Group provides a basic but limited window into its climate-policy lobbying. It names one specific initiative it engaged on – the Korean “K-Taxonomy”, described as a guideline that defines what constitutes a green economic activity – and explains that its input was gathered while the Ministry of Environment and the Financial Services Commission were drafting the measure. The company also explains the mechanism it used, noting that "opinions were collected four times" from stakeholders including BNK, which shows direct participation in the government consultation process and identifies the precise public-sector bodies it addressed. However, it cites only this single consultation mechanism and does not detail any other channels such as letters, meetings or industry-association work. On outcomes, BNK simply states its “support with no exceptions” for the K-Taxonomy and notes that the policy is “aligned with the Paris Agreement,” without spelling out any particular amendments, quantitative targets or other concrete results it sought. Because the disclosure centres on one policy, one form of engagement and a general statement of support, it reveals only a limited level of transparency about the breadth and objectives of the company’s climate-related lobbying. | 1 |
