Maple Leaf Foods Inc
- Paris Agreement alignment
Maple Leaf Foods Inc. articulates a clear public commitment to align its external engagement with its climate goals but provides no evidence of governance processes or oversight structures for lobbying alignment. It notes that "we were the first food company in Canada to set science-based targets that are aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and approved by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi)," and confirms it has a "public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement" by answering "Yes." However, the company does not disclose any procedures for reviewing or managing its lobbying activities, nor does it identify any individual or committee responsible for overseeing alignment of its direct or indirect policy advocacy with its climate commitments.
