Score 1 - Limited
Full assessment

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.

This assessment is part of the Lobbying Governance Index, covering 8,500 companies scored on whether they have processes to oversee their climate lobbying. See all companies in Europe or all companies in France.
