Gibson Energy Inc

Gibson Energy Inc. has established a process that leverages its enterprise risk management framework and cross-functional expertise to align direct and indirect policy engagement with its Net Zero by 2050 commitment, but the scope of its oversight is limited and it has not committed publicly to Paris-aligned engagement. As the company explains, "risks associated with climate policy are monitored by several groups and are escalated to Gibson's management team through our ERM process as required" to ensure that "our management team and Board have visibility on the broader climate policy environment," and it designates its "Sustainability Supervisor and Director of Supply Chain Management, ESG and Stakeholder Relations" as responsible for "maintaining consistency with our climate strategy and conducting any direct and indirect engagement with government and policy." The framework relies on "internal expertise of various business units, including ... environment and regulatory, tax, legal and commercial," and the use of "a third-party government relations team to monitor relevant regulation changes and help ensure we are consistent in our approach and messaging." Although Gibson notes that "we conduct minimal lobbying and policy advocacy," it asserts a commitment that "our engagement activities are aligned with our climate-related goals and the Paris Agreement ambitions." However, the company does not disclose a process for assessing or aligning the positions of trade or industry associations, does not publish a dedicated climate-lobbying audit or report, and confirms that it has "no public commitment or position statement to conduct engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement" in the foreseeable future, indicating gaps in oversight of indirect lobbying and formal Board or committee review of lobbying alignment.
