Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Strong | Daewoo Industrial Development provides a solid level of transparency around its climate-policy lobbying. It names two identifiable Korean policy instruments it seeks to influence—the “Revised Guidelines for Calculating GHG Emissions in the Construction Industry” and the “Korea Greenhouse Gas Target Management System”—and explains the requirements of each. The company also sets out several ways it tries to shape those rules, combining direct engagement with government and indirect work through sector bodies: it describes “supporting the revision of the Real Estate Commission’s Guidelines for Calculating GHG Emissions,” “participating in activities to clarify the standards for GHG regulations in the construction industry with the Korea Environment and Construction Association,” and maintaining ongoing dialogue with the Ministry of the Environment on the Target Management System. These disclosures identify concrete targets such as the Real Estate Commission, the Korea Environment and Construction Association and the Ministry of the Environment. Finally, the company is reasonably clear about what it wants to achieve, seeking “a reasonable and accurate GHG emission calculation manual” and the “clarifying [of] unclear standards” that govern construction-sector emissions; although it expresses general support for the wider Target Management System, it does not set out additional, more detailed policy amendments it wishes to see. Overall, the company demonstrates strong, though not exhaustive, transparency on its climate-related lobbying activities. | 3 |
