Lobbying Governance

ASMPT discloses extensive ESG and climate-risk governance, noting that "ASMPT’s Board of Directors provides oversight of ESG policies, issues, and implementation" and that the EXCO, SRRC, ESG Team and other bodies monitor climate-related matters; however, these descriptions focus on risk and sustainability rather than on how lobbying or public-policy advocacy is governed or aligned with the company’s climate goals. The only explicit reference that touches on policy engagement is the statement that the company has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement…Yes", indicating an intention to align advocacy with Paris goals. We found no evidence of a procedure that reviews or audits the company’s own lobbying positions or those of trade associations, no disclosure of internal controls such as sign-off requirements for public-policy positions, and no named individual or committee charged specifically with overseeing lobbying alignment. This single commitment suggests some acknowledgement of the need to align engagement activities with climate objectives, but the absence of any detailed process, responsible party, or monitoring mechanism for lobbying indicates only minimal disclosed governance in this area.
