Hartford Financial Services Group Inc/The

ISIN: US416518AC25 | United States | North America
Score 1 - Limited
Full assessment

Hartford Financial Services Group has a robust corporate governance structure for climate and ESG with "the Board of Directors" bearing "oversight responsibility for The Hartford's corporate reputation and ESG activities, including climate action," and a cross‐enterprise Sustainability Governance Committee that "sets and helps drive execution of the company's sustainability strategy." While this framework ensures high‐level climate risk management and strategy execution, the company "advocates directly and through its trade association in states for price adequacy" and engages on climate mitigation and resiliency policy at multiple levels, and confirms "Yes" to having a public commitment to align engagement activities with the goals of the Paris Agreement. However, beyond this pledge, we found no evidence of a formal process - such as a climate lobbying review, alignment procedure, or dedicated oversight by a named individual or body - to ensure that these lobbying and advocacy activities are consistently aligned with its climate commitments.
