Delta Electronics discloses a high level of detail about its climate-policy engagements. It names multiple specific measures it has worked on, including the “Taiwan Building Carbon Footprint Product Category Rule (PCR) system,” the 2017 amendments to Taiwan’s “Electricity Act,” and the related “Energy Whitepaper” that lists building carbon footprints as a key decarbonisation tool. The company also explains how it tries to influence these policies. It describes “providing supporting material, issuing public statements or other approaches,” collaborating with the Low Carbon Building Association, and direct outreach to the city governments of New Taipei City and Taichung to have the PCR system adopted for urban-renewal and low-carbon demonstration sites. In addition, it runs training programmes for professionals and the public, illustrating an indirect mechanism aimed at shaping implementation. Delta is equally explicit about what it hopes to achieve: it seeks the formal adoption of the PCR system as a mandatory criterion in building projects, wider use of low-carbon building materials, the inclusion of energy-regeneration devices as a compulsory efficiency standard, and an overall increase in the share of renewable energy in Taiwan’s electricity mix. By clearly identifying the policies addressed, the methods and targets of its advocacy, and the specific regulatory outcomes it is pursuing, Delta demonstrates comprehensive transparency around its climate-related lobbying activities.

Delta Electronics Inc. demonstrates a comprehensive governance process for climate lobbying, with clear mechanisms for oversight, monitoring, and alignment with climate goals. The company has established the ESG Committee, which is directly supervised by the Board of Directors and serves as the highest-level unit monitoring climate risks and opportunities. "Deltas position on policy engagement and lobbying projects must be reported to the CEO, COO, CSO annually to confirm that the direction is consistent with the companys philosophy," ensuring alignment with the Paris Agreement. Delta also mandates that "before participating in an association, Delta management should confirm that the philosophy of the association is compatible with Delta and aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement." Furthermore, the company has a robust review and monitoring process, including regular assessments of trade associations and direct lobbying activities to ensure alignment with its climate goals. If misalignment is identified, Delta commits to "exert influence on the association to amend their position" or publicly distance itself from the association. The expenditures for participating in associations are disclosed annually on the companys official website, enhancing transparency. The Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) plays a pivotal role, reporting quarterly to the Board of Directors on climate-related management progress, including trends, key data, and the effectiveness of energy and carbon management budgets. Delta has also published detailed guidelines, such as the "Delta Group Policy Influence Guidelines," which outline its governance framework for lobbying activities. This indicates a robust governance process that encompasses direct and indirect lobbying activities, with clear monitoring mechanisms, accountability structures, and public disclosures in place.
