Wistron discloses that it “has governance process of climate change and environmental strategies and initiatives across the organization, including external engagement that might influence policy,” indicating that climate-related advocacy is covered by its sustainability governance structure. Oversight is assigned to the ESG Committee, which “reports to the BOD on environmental matters… and is responsible for overall sustainability strategies of Wistron,” while the Advisory Board and Sustainability Office “meets monthly and makes recommendations on our sustainability initiatives,” demonstrating named bodies that review activities, which suggests a defined oversight mechanism. The company also confirms that it has “a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” and notes a “Reviewing and monitoring process,” implying an internal mechanism for checking consistency between advocacy and climate commitments. However, Wistron does not disclose how this monitoring is conducted in practice, provides no detail on how it assesses or manages the positions of trade associations or other indirect lobbying channels, and offers no specific examples of aligning or correcting lobbying activities, so the depth and scope of the governance remain limited.
