Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment | Analysis | Score |
---|---|---|
Moderate |
Genworth Financial Inc. demonstrates moderate governance of its climate lobbying by establishing a mechanism to align its trade association advocacy, explaining that it “actively monitors the work and positioning of ACLI on climate-related issues” and that “Genworth employees are members of the committees responsible for the trade association’s positioning and are fully engaged in discussions to ensure alignment with our climate priorities.” This indicates a clear process for indirect lobbying oversight; however, the company does not disclose any analogous review for its own direct lobbying efforts, nor does it identify a specific individual or formal body responsible for governance of lobbying alignment. Moreover, Genworth confirms it has no public commitment to Paris Agreement alignment, stating “No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years,” which underscores the absence of comprehensive oversight and transparency for both direct and indirect climate lobbying activities.
