Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Ardentec Corp offers only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It does name a single piece of legislation it tried to influence, stating that it "provided input for the draft amendment to the Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Management Act (Climate Change Response Act)," thereby confirming engagement with a specific Taiwanese carbon-fee proposal. The company also discloses one mechanism—participation in the bill’s public commentary process—explaining that it "expressed its support for Taiwan’s first carbon fee proposal during the draft bill’s public commentary period." However, it does not identify which officials or agencies it contacted, nor does it describe any other channels such as industry associations, letters, or meetings. On objectives, Ardentec indicates only a broad preference that the fee calculation be transparent, noting it "hoped that lawyers will let the industry understand how the fee is calculated in an open and transparent manner," but it does not articulate any concrete policy changes, numeric targets, or amendments it seeks. Consequently, the disclosure reveals a single lobbying instance with scant detail on methods or desired outcomes, leaving most aspects of its climate lobbying unaddressed.	1

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Ardentec Corp outlines that “the content of communications, performances, and recommendations are submitted to the Board of Directors for approval every year,” reflecting formal oversight of its climate-related engagement, and affirms a public stance “to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.” The evidence highlights direct advocacy efforts, including proposing to Taipower Company “an information transparency mechanism” and suggesting a “supply and demand matching mechanism” for T-RECC, indicating alignment of its direct lobbying with climate objectives. However, the company does not disclose a dedicated lobbying policy, details of a structured monitoring or management process, nor does it name an individual or specialized committee responsible for ongoing lobbying governance, and we found no evidence of oversight of indirect lobbying through trade or industry associations.	2
