Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Moderate | Yuanta Financial Holding provides a moderate degree of transparency on its climate-related lobbying. It explicitly names one policy it has worked on – the “Execution strategy for the sustainable development and transformation of the securities and futures industry” – and situates this engagement within Taiwan’s broader net-zero transition. The company sets out its methods in detail, explaining that it has been “putting forward specific implementation suggestions for the draft,” “participating in public hearings,” and “publishing industry opinions,” and it identifies the government or quasi-government bodies it addresses, including “the Financial Supervisory Commission, the Stock Exchange, the OTC Center, the Futures Exchange and the Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation.” Yuanta also indicates what it hopes to achieve, aiming to “improve the sustainable financial ecosystem,” “maintain the order and stability of capital market transactions,” “strengthen the securities and futures industry’s self-discipline mechanism,” and “construct fair and friendly services.” While these desired outcomes show the direction of its advocacy, they are framed in broad terms and are not linked to concrete legislative changes, and only one specific policy is named, leaving some gaps in the overall picture of its lobbying activity. | 2 |
