North West Co Inc/The’s disclosures highlight broad ESG governance, stating "NORTH WEST IS committed to strong governance, including ESG oversight" and explaining that "The Board: ... oversees and monitors North West’s ESG strategy, policies and practices," and that its ESG Steering Committee "provides guidance to North West on ESG programs." However, the company does not disclose any governance processes specific to its lobbying activities, failing to identify any internal mechanism, policy, oversight committee or named individual responsible for reviewing, monitoring or aligning direct or indirect lobbying efforts with its climate or other policy objectives.

North West Company provides only limited insight into its climate-related policy advocacy. It indicates that it has lobbied through a variety of channels—referencing “letters and written or verbal testimony,” “participation in conferences and forums,” and “ongoing consultation with political leadership at the national, regional and community level,” including monthly letters to “Chiefs and their Councils, mayors and Pandemic Committees.” While these phrases reveal the broad methods it uses, the company does not identify which governmental bodies or officials it seeks to influence, so the lobbying targets remain opaque. On the substance of policy, disclosures point to general subject areas rather than identifiable pieces of legislation: the company says it “campaigned for higher Nutrition North Canada and seasonal transportation subsidies” and “advocated for priority access to essential grocery items and cleaning supplies for northern communities,” but it does not name any specific climate-related laws or regulations. Similarly, the outcomes it seeks are stated only in broad terms such as “increasing energy efficiency and supporting renewable energy initiatives,” without quantifiable goals or detailed policy changes. Taken together, the information offered shows some acknowledgement of climate-related advocacy activity but lacks the specificity needed to demonstrate strong transparency about the policies, mechanisms, or outcomes involved.
