Soitec indicates that it intends to keep its “external engagement activities … consistent with [its] climate commitments” and affirmatively states that it has “a public commitment … to conduct [its] engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” demonstrating a declared intention to align its lobbying with climate goals. However, aside from noting that it is “deploy[ing] its Climate Plan, with five major action plans,” the company does not disclose who oversees this alignment, how lobbying positions are reviewed or monitored, or any mechanisms for managing trade-association advocacy. We found no evidence of a board or executive owner, no description of formal monitoring or corrective procedures, nor any published assessment of direct or indirect lobbying alignment. Consequently, while the commitment signals some attention to climate-lobbying consistency, the underlying governance framework and accountability structures are not disclosed.

Soitec provides some insight into its climate-related public-policy engagement but the level of detail remains limited. It identifies the French Government’s draft “Green Industry” legislation as a focus of its advocacy and describes how this national law would support “low-carbon innovation and R&D,” yet this is the only policy named and the company does not state that it is the sole climate measure on which it lobbies. On mechanisms, Soitec explains that it took part in “several working sessions with the CSF (Industry Strategic Committee created by the French Industrial Minister),” making clear both the vehicle (working sessions) and the target (the CSF/French Industrial Minister), but no additional channels or targets are disclosed. The company indicates that it seeks to ensure the bill “integrate[s] key considerations for the semiconductor industry and the development of low-carbon and energy-efficiency innovation” and says it supports the draft “with minor exceptions,” which signals a general outcome sought but stops short of specifying concrete amendments or numeric goals. Overall, the disclosure demonstrates only a modest level of transparency about the breadth of policies engaged, the range of lobbying methods employed, and the precise results the company is pursuing.
