Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Lotte Chilsung Beverage provides a reasonable amount of detail about its climate-policy engagement. It names distinct initiatives it has worked on, including “Resource Circulation with the Ministry of Environment by Removing Brand Straps of Mineral Water,” the South Korean “Emissions Trading Scheme” created under the Framework Act for Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth, and “a mutual cooperation MOU for the promotion of RE100 with the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation, the KEPCO Energy Solutions and the Smart Energy Platform Cooperative,” showing clear disclosure of the policy areas it seeks to influence. The company also outlines several concrete engagement mechanisms and their targets, saying it “promoted a business agreement with Songpa-gu Office to separate and discharge PET bottles,” signed the above-mentioned MOU, and mounted booths and education programmes at a Recycling Expo—demonstrating that it uses direct agreements, formal MOUs and public-facing events to reach local government bodies and quasi-government entities. However, the disclosures stop short of explaining exactly how these activities attempt to shape legislation or regulation, and they provide only broad aspirations such as a desire to “expand greenhouse gas reduction activities and the introduction of renewable energy” and to foster “the spread of awareness of resource circulation,” without specifying measurable policy changes, timelines or amendments it wants adopted. The result is a moderately transparent picture of where and how the company engages, but only limited clarity on the precise outcomes it is lobbying for.	2

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Lotte Chilsung Beverage Co Ltd discloses a “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” demonstrating a stated intention to align lobbying with climate objectives. However, the company does not disclose any oversight structures, named individual or formal body responsible for reviewing or approving lobbying efforts, nor does it describe a process for monitoring or managing the alignment of its direct or indirect lobbying with its climate policy, indicating limited governance transparency around its climate-related advocacy.	1
