Kia supports the Paris Agreement and participates in domestic and global sustainability initiatives, including RE100 and CDP Climate Change. Kia continuously reviews whether its direct lobbying and public policy engagement activities, as well as the activities of the trade associations and organizations it is a member of, are aligned with the Paris Agreement, along with changes in climate-related laws and regulations. In particular, when determining whether to join a trade association, Kia thoroughly reviews in advance the purpose of participation, business relevance, and the association's position on climate change. Even after joining, Kia continuously reviews the association's external activities and media exposure to monitor whether its activities remain aligned with the Paris Agreement. When financial contributions are made to trade associations, Kia manages the nature of the organization, the details and purpose of the expenditure, and whether the activities meet the purpose of the expenditure, together with the finance and accounting division. All expenditures are thoroughly reviewed and managed through a step-by-step review process, from the department executing the contribution to the general management department, management level, and the board of directors.

In addition, Kia continuously monitors its own lobbying and public policy engagement activities and the status of ESG agendas of trade associations, including activities related to climate change, and expects its member organizations to act in alignment with the Paris Agreement and other global ESG-related standards and frameworks. Furthermore, to contribute to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, Kia obtained official validation of its near-term GHG reduction targets from the SBTi in October 2025, and collaborates with relevant institutions to respond more effectively to environmental regulations.
