Score 1 - Limited
Full assessment

IA Financial Corp Inc. discloses a limited governance process for its lobbying activities, but does not explicitly address climate-related lobbying oversight. It states that "Any lobbying activity must first be authorized by Legal Services," and that its "communications with government bodies are open, transparent and comply with applicable laws and regulations," as set out in its Code of Business Conduct. The company also notes that it participates "directly or through the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association (CLHIA) or any other industry association" to "contribute to the public debate" and represent client concerns. However, the company does not disclose any mechanism to ensure alignment of lobbying efforts with its climate policy, nor does it identify a specific individual or committee responsible for reviewing or overseeing lobbying activities. We found no evidence of a dedicated process for monitoring or managing climate-related lobbying or for assessing the positions of trade associations against its climate objectives.

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.
