| Limited | Analog Devices provides only limited visibility into its climate-related lobbying. The company names one concrete policy engagement, stating its support for “the implementation of the Massachusetts Climate Change Plan for 2020 under the Massachusetts Global Warming Solutions Act,” but it does not identify any other specific climate laws or regulations on which it has lobbied. It does outline a handful of ways it seeks to influence policymakers—reporting that it “directly engage[s] with and contribute[s] industry information to … the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP),” holds “conversations with government officials, trade associations and other coalitions,” and participates in Semiconductor Industry Association board meetings and discussions with “members of the U.S. Congress,” the “Biden Administration,” and state governors—thereby revealing several mechanisms and some identifiable targets, though the breadth of these descriptions remains high-level. The company is even less specific about the outcomes it pursues. Beyond aligning its engagement with the Massachusetts plan’s goal of “reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 25 % in 2020,” it mainly cites broad ambitions such as supporting decision-makers’ climate goals or bolstering supply-chain resilience, without detailing the concrete policy changes it seeks. Collectively, these disclosures demonstrate only a narrow window into ADI’s climate-policy lobbying activities. | 1 |
