Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Taiwan Cooperative Financial Holding offers a moderate level of transparency on its climate-policy lobbying. It identifies two concrete policies it has worked on: the Taiwanese Government’s “loans for Promoting Six Core Strategic Industries” scheme and the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ “Regulations for the Management of Setting up Renewable Energy Power Generation Equipment of Power Users above a Certain Contract Capacity,” allowing readers to understand exactly which climate-related measures the bank sought to influence. The company also describes how it lobbies, stating that it “communicates with the Financial Supervisory Commission every year about writing to confirm the objectives of this policy loan” and that it “autonomously promoted the loans for Promoting Six Core Strategic Industries in 2022,” thereby explaining at least two distinct mechanisms and naming the Financial Supervisory Commission as the specific target of its engagement. Finally, the disclosure spells out the outcomes it is pursuing: accelerating the renewable-energy sector and supporting clients’ low-carbon transitions, with a quantified goal of reaching a NT$495 billion loan balance (achieving NT$563 billion in 2022). While the company does not detail a wider range of mechanisms or a broader set of policy objectives, the information provided gives a clear picture of why, how and on which measures it engages policymakers.	2

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Taiwan Cooperative Financial Holding Co Ltd has articulated a public commitment to conduct its engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement, as evidenced by its affirmative response, “Yes”, to the question, “Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?”. However, the company does not disclose any mechanisms or processes for overseeing or reviewing the alignment of its lobbying activities with this commitment, nor does it identify any individual or formal body responsible for managing or monitoring its lobbying alignment with climate policy objectives. We found no evidence of a defined review or sign-off process, or of governance structures addressing direct or indirect lobbying activities.	1
