Microchip Technology Inc. demonstrates a limited lobbying governance framework focused on aligning its policy engagement with climate objectives. It affirms a "public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement", answering "Yes" to whether it aligns engagement with the Paris goals, and explains that "Microchip engages with state regulatory bodies and trade associations to influence policy on GHG reduction targets", which "helps us to align our climate strategy and targets with current and upcoming regulatory obligations". However, the company does not disclose any oversight structure or identify a specific individual or committee responsible for reviewing or approving these lobbying activities, nor does it describe any ongoing monitoring, review, or audit mechanism to ensure consistency with its climate strategy.

Microchip Technology provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It identifies one specific policy engagement, the Colorado “GEMM Phase II Rule,” making clear that its team worked on drafting and assessing the rule’s language with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. By describing this direct interaction, the company reveals both the mechanism (policy drafting and assessment) and the concrete target (the state environmental agency). However, it does not disclose any additional climate policies it has influenced, nor does it confirm that this is its sole area of engagement. The company states its overall stance as “support with major exceptions” and notes that it seeks alignment with the Paris Agreement, yet it offers no detail on the precise amendments or regulatory outcomes it is pursuing within the GEMM Phase II process. Because the disclosures cover only one policy, one lobbying channel, and a broadly stated objective without specific desired changes, the transparency level remains limited.
