Direct Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Limited Quanta Computer provides only limited insight into its climate-policy lobbying. It signals that it is active on broad policy areas—mentioning “carbon tax,” “emissions trading schemes,” “electricity grid access for renewables,” and wider work on “adaptation and/or resilience to climate change”—but it does not name any specific bills, regulations or government programmes, so it is impossible to identify the exact measures it has tried to influence. The company describes its approach in general terms, saying it has “push[ed] the local government to provide the approach to purchase the renewable energy in China mainland” and has “integrate[d] with government to move forward the carbon tax,” which confirms that some direct engagement occurs, yet it offers no detail on the concrete mechanisms used (such as formal meetings, written submissions or coalition activity) and identifies the target only as the unspecified “local government” in China. Likewise, the intended outcomes are expressed only in broad strokes—advocating for a pathway to buy renewable power and advancing a carbon-tax framework—without clarifying the specific amendments, stringency levels or timelines it is seeking. As a result, while the company acknowledges that it engages policymakers on climate issues, the absence of concrete policy names, detailed lobbying methods and clearly articulated end-goals means the disclosure remains cursory. 1
Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Moderate Quanta Computer’s disclosures indicate limited governance for its climate-related lobbying, centering on a pledge that “By 2050, we will gradually reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, refrain from funding lobbying activities against climate regulations, and actively collaborate with stakeholders to promote participation in environmental protection initiatives and build related capacities,” with “this policy, approved by the General Manager and governed by the Board of Directors as the highest oversight body” and implementation delegated to its Sustainability Development Center. While Quanta has established a Climate Change Committee under its Sustainability Steering Committee to oversee GHG investigation, carbon-reduction targets and circular-economy initiatives, the company does not disclose any formal procedures or criteria for reviewing or aligning either its direct lobbying or its participation in trade associations with its climate policy. We found no evidence of a dedicated climate-lobbying review, specific monitoring mechanisms for lobbying activities, or a named individual or body beyond general sustainability oversight tasked explicitly with managing lobbying alignment. 2
