Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	LOTTE Corp has clearly established ESG governance structures, including a Sustainability Council described as “the highest decision-making body for matters related to economic, environmental, and social aspects of sustainable management,” led by the CEO and supported by seven specialized subcommittees, and entity-level ESG Committees that “establish ESG strategies and policies” and “monitor the progress of major ESG implementation tasks.” These bodies convene regularly and oversee topics such as carbon neutrality, resource circulation, and supply chain ESG management, with the ESG oversight department “oversees the management and monitoring of the ESG requirements across the company.” However, we found no evidence of any internal mechanism, oversight structure, or monitoring process specifically for lobbying activities—no description of direct lobbying reviews or indirect lobbying alignment, nor any individual or formal body tasked with governing policy engagement or trade association advocacy. The company does not disclose criteria for assessing its participation in associations or any governance processes that align lobbying with its climate or broader policy goals, indicating an absence of publicly disclosed lobbying governance.
