Score 2 - Moderate
Full assessment

United Microelectronics Corp ("UMC") discloses an "UMC Direct Lobbying Operational Procedure and Review Mechanism and Procedure for Validating Sustainable Development Positions of Industry Associations and Organizations," which provides a concrete process for indirect lobbying governance by applying its "Procedure for Validating Sustainable Development Positions" and engaging through "participation in association meetings, events, and initiatives" and "response to invitation for member feedback." The company reports that, through this process, it has "confirmed that the industry associations and organizations it is affiliated with share the same stance on climate change and human rights as UMC," demonstrating active alignment of its indirect lobbying activities. However, UMC "does not engage in direct lobbying activities, and as a result, there are no available evaluation results on climate-related lobbying activities," and the company does not disclose any specific individual or formal body responsible for overseeing or reviewing the alignment of its lobbying efforts. While this indicates the presence of a mechanism to validate trade-association positions, the company does not provide evidence of direct lobbying governance or named oversight, leaving gaps in its overall lobbying governance framework.

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 North America or all companies in United States.
