Pembina Pipeline Corp

Pembina Pipeline Corp has established some governance for its climate-related policy engagement by assigning oversight to senior executives and embedding an annual planning cycle. It discloses that "Pembina's public policy engagement work and government advocacy is overseen by the Senior Vice President External Affairs, Chief Legal Counsel and Chief Sustainability Officer," and that "Pembina's External Affairs unit is responsible for ensuring that all engagement with government and public sector stakeholders on matters of legislative, regulatory, or policy development related to climate change is conducted in a manner that is aligned to our business's overarching climate change strategy." The company further states that "we develop robust engagement plans on an annual basis with all priority stakeholder groups and identify issues upon which we can engage to advance of our climate change strategy," which indicates a structured process for aligning direct lobbying activities. However, the company does not disclose any process for vetting or managing indirect lobbying through trade or industry associations, no formal board or committee review of lobbying alignment, and no independent audit of these efforts. We found no evidence of a commitment to align engagement with the goals of the Paris Agreement, as noted in the response that "No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years." These gaps imply that, while Pembina has defined roles and an annual planning mechanism for climate engagement, its overall governance lacks comprehensive oversight, monitoring procedures, and alignment across all lobbying channels.
