Voya Financial Inc

Voya Financial discloses only limited information on how it governs policy-related engagement. It notes that "In 2021, Voya established an ESG Center of Excellence to formalize our climate strategy and communicate it with our employees, clients, and shareholders" and that this team "will work in partnership with Risk, Corporate Real Estate and Strategic Sourcing, as well as Voya's lines of business to ensure consistency of approach to Voya's commitment to environmental sustainability," implying an internal mechanism that reviews whether engagement activities align with its climate strategy. However, the disclosure does not specify whether this process covers direct lobbying, oversight of trade-association positions, or any escalation steps when misalignment is identified, nor does it identify a board committee or named executive with responsibility for such reviews. The company also states "No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years" when asked about a public commitment to conduct engagement in line with the Paris Agreement, further indicating that its governance framework for climate-related lobbying is not clearly defined or publicly accountable. Overall, while there is a stated intention to keep engagement consistent with environmental goals, the company does not disclose comprehensive structures, monitoring procedures, or accountability mechanisms specific to lobbying activities.
