Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Pegatron provides only limited information on how it governs lobbying or policy advocacy; the only explicit reference to aligning external engagement with climate goals is the statement that the company has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct [its] engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement" and that it will "control the global international goals" by updating its carbon-reduction targets through the SBTi. While this wording indicates an intention that any external engagement should be Paris-aligned, the evidence does not describe who oversees lobbying, how lobbying positions are reviewed, or whether trade-association advocacy is monitored. The disclosed sustainability governance—such as the PureCSR Steering Committee that "reports the relevant implementation plans and performances to the President and CEO" and conducts "regular internal and external audits"—focuses on environmental management systems rather than on political lobbying alignment, and we found no evidence of a process for assessing, escalating, or correcting lobbying that conflicts with the company’s climate strategy. Consequently, the disclosure shows only a high-level commitment without detailing the mechanisms, oversight structures, or accountability measures that would demonstrate a robust lobbying-governance framework.

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Pegatron provides a limited view of its climate-policy lobbying. It names two specific Taiwanese climate laws—the “Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Management Act” and the “Climate Change Response Act”—demonstrating openness about which pieces of legislation it engages on. The company also explains that its chief avenue of engagement is participation in the “Taiwan Climate Partnership” regular meetings, where it “engaged in discussions about ‘Governance Mechanisms for Taiwan’s Net Zero Transformation’ with lawmakers,” thereby specifying both the mechanism and the policymaking audience. Beyond this single forum, no other channels or targets are discussed. Although Pegatron says it is aligned with the Paris Agreement and describes its stance as “neutral,” it does not set out any concrete policy changes, amendments, or measurable goals it is pursuing, so the outcomes it seeks remain vague.	1
