Strong | Globalwafers Co. Ltd provides a high level of detail about the climate-related policies it engages on and how it engages, but it is less explicit about the precise results it wants those engagements to deliver. It names several distinct measures it has addressed, including the draft amendment of Taiwan’s “Climate Change Response Act,” the “draft amendment of Boiler Air Pollutant Emissions Standards,” and the survey on “boiler specifications currently not included in the air-pollution operating permit,” as well as other draft environmental decrees. The company also makes its methods and targets clear: it files written public comments, “participated in seminars and filled out surveys to provide feedback on carbon fees collection,” attends public hearings and, where appropriate, “will convey any relevant opinions to the trade union committee, who will be the representative to respond to the competent authorities,” such as the Taiwan Financial Supervisory Commission and other government agencies. These disclosures show exactly which mechanisms are used and which policymakers are addressed. However, while the company states that it supports policies that “align with the Paris Agreement and climate-related targets” and that it submits “relevant proposals” during consultations, it does not reveal the concrete amendments, numeric targets, or other specific legislative changes it is advocating. Consequently, its transparency on desired outcomes remains general rather than detailed. | 3 |
