Direct Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Moderate Primax Electronics provides a fair amount of detail about how it interacts with policymakers on climate issues. It identifies the specific policy framework it engages on—the Taiwan Climate Change Response Act, its related sub-laws, and the renewable energy certificate purchasing system—demonstrating openness about the subject of its advocacy. The company explains that its contact with officials from the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Environmental Protection Agency occurs through experience-sharing sessions and by submitting recommendations on draft regulations, giving clear insight into both the mechanisms used and the governmental targets involved. Primax also states the concrete changes it supports, including incorporating the 2050 net-zero commitment into law, clarifying and establishing implementing rules under the Act, and “further promoting corporate participation in the net-zero transition,” thereby revealing the outcomes it seeks from these engagements. While Primax emphasises that it does not fund or orchestrate formal lobbying campaigns beyond paying association dues, the disclosure nevertheless outlines the substance, methods and objectives of its policy outreach, offering a moderate level of transparency overall. 2
Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Limited Primax Electronics declares that “we maintain political neutrality, refraining from supporting any political party, movement, organization, or candidate” and that “we do not participate in, encourage, or fund lobbying activities; all expenditures are dedicated solely to association membership fees or donations to tax-exempt organizations,” which sets a clear prohibition on lobbying. It also notes that “we have joined various industry associations related to these issues” and that “集團會透過董事會轄下的企業永續辦公室對公司永續發展、氣候相關承諾、氣候轉型計畫行動進行規劃與監管,確保行動皆符合致伸集團對外的氣候相關承諾,” indicating board-level oversight of climate targets. However, the company does not disclose any specific process, sign-off procedure, or named individual or body responsible for reviewing or aligning its direct or indirect lobbying activities with its climate commitments, nor any mechanism to manage or monitor trade-association engagement for consistency with those goals. 1
