Brighthouse Financial Inc

Brighthouse Financial Inc articulates that it "oversee[s] the Company's government relations and political activities in accordance with its political strategy and public policy objectives," indicating an intention to maintain oversight of its advocacy efforts. However, the company does not disclose any details on the specific processes or procedures used for such oversight, no named individual or formal body responsible for review, nor any mechanisms for monitoring or enforcing alignment with its policies. We found no evidence of a policy to guide climate-related lobbying alignment, of periodic reviews or audits of its lobbying activities, or of criteria for assessing its participation in trade and industry associations, suggesting that while oversight is acknowledged, its governance framework lacks clarity and depth.
