Advanced Micro Devices provides robust transparency around its climate lobbying activities. It clearly names the climate policies it engages with, stating it “continues working closely with the U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR program” and participates in the “E.U.’s eco-design regulations for servers and computers,” while also collaborating with Chinese policymakers on national energy efficiency requirements. AMD details its lobbying mechanisms, reporting it conducted “ad-hoc meetings,” “responded to consultations,” and “submitted written proposals/inquiries,” and contributed through the Information Technology Industry Council, targeting entities such as the U.S. EPA, EU regulators, and Chinese government bodies. Finally, the company specifies the policy outcomes it seeks, advocating for “power/energy limits for computers and servers” and “performance per watt criteria for servers,” ensuring that regulatory standards support both current and future technology improvements. This level of detail demonstrates strong transparency in its climate lobbying disclosures.

AMD discloses that oversight of all government and regulatory affairs is conducted by its General Counsel, who "AMD 在政府和监管事务方面开展的活动一律由总法律顾问负责监督" and reports to the CEO and ultimately the Board of Directors, establishing a named position and formal body responsible for lobbying governance. The company describes indirect lobbying oversight by noting that "AMD 每年都会对加入这些协会的必要性进行审查，以评估是否符合我们的价值观和政策重点," indicating a repeat process for reviewing trade association memberships. For climate-related engagement governance, AMD states it "Review with CFO and the board level to ensure alignment with climate change strategy," and confirms a "public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," while also noting it "actively participates in several industry work groups, including in leadership and advisory roles, to help ensure overall alignment with our efforts and goals related to climate." However, the company does not disclose any specific procedure for aligning its direct lobbying efforts with its climate commitments, nor does it publish a dedicated audit or third-party assessment of climate-lobbying alignment, and we found no evidence of criteria for assessing its participation in associations against its climate policy.
