Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Comprehensive	President Chain Store Corp provides an unusually detailed picture of its climate-related lobbying. It names multiple specific government initiatives it has worked on, including the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ micro-carbon offsets programme, the Ministry of the Interior’s “Store Energy Consumption Classification”, the government’s building energy-efficiency labelling system that leads to the “Nearly Zero Carbon Building” designation, and policy projects on plastic reduction such as the “Good Service Guidelines for Recycled (Rented) Cups” for outlying islands. The company also describes exactly how it influences these measures: it submits verified carbon-reduction data to the Environmental Protection Administration, supplies two years of energy-use information from more than 5,000 stores to the Architecture and Building Research Institute, participates in energy-classification research with the Taiwan Green Building Council, and holds discussions with ministries on environmental-protection and plastic-reduction projects, in addition to work through industry associations. Clear outcomes are articulated for each engagement, such as securing ISO-14064-2 certification and micro-offset credits, establishing store energy-consumption benchmarks that will be embedded in the national EEWH-EB building-rating system, achieving an annual electricity saving of about 61,000 kWh and a 31-tonne CO₂e reduction, obtaining the Nearly Zero Carbon Building label for its outlets, and ensuring all lobbying aligns with the Paris Agreement 1.5 °C goal. By specifying the policies, the governmental counterparts, the methods employed, and the concrete results it seeks, the company demonstrates a high level of transparency on its climate-policy lobbying.	4

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Comprehensive	President Chain Store Corp demonstrates a comprehensive governance process for climate lobbying, ensuring alignment with the goals of the Paris Agreement and the global low-carbon transition. The company explicitly states that "all climate lobbying activities should be consistent with the Paris Agreement and the goal of limiting global temperature rise to a maximum of 1.5?C compared with pre-industrial levels," and this commitment applies across all subsidiaries and operational areas. It has established a robust review mechanism, stating that "public policies implemented by industry associations and lobbying activities that we participate in are reviewed annually" to assess alignment with the Paris Agreement. If inconsistencies are identified, the company commits to "communicate with the public associations within half a year" and, if necessary, "terminate its participation in the public association." Furthermore, the company has a clear process for oversight and approval, requiring that "industry associations and lobbying activities follow the Company and its subsidiaries internal evaluation procedures before reporting to the President or above for approval." The results of these activities are disclosed annually, ensuring transparency. This indicates strong governance of both direct and indirect lobbying activities, with clear monitoring mechanisms, accountability structures, and alignment enforcement processes in place.	4
