Definity Financial Corp

ISIN: CA24477T1003 | Canada | North America
Score 2 - Moderate
Full assessment

Definity Financial Corp describes that it "has a regulatory and industry affairs function that coordinates its participation in these trade associations" and that this function "ensures that Definity has public policy positions on key climate issues" which representatives then bring to "trade association discussions or to the government(s) directly," demonstrating a clear mechanism for aligning both indirect and direct lobbying with its climate positions. However, Definity also states "No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years" regarding a commitment to align engagement with the Paris Agreement, and we found no evidence of a formal review or audit of its lobbying activities against climate goals or of a named individual or committee overseeing this alignment. The disclosure suggests a defined process for policy development and participation but lacks a specific oversight structure or procedures for monitoring and enforcing climate-alignment in its lobbying efforts.

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 Canada.
