Parkland Corp has demonstrated comprehensive transparency around its climate-related lobbying. It clearly identifies the specific policies it engages with, including British Columbia’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction (Renewable & Low Carbon Fuel Requirements) Act, the Renewable & Low Carbon Fuel Requirements Regulation (together the province’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard), regulations under the Zero-Emission Vehicles Act, and the CleanBC Go Electric Public Charger Program. The company details its lobbying mechanisms and targets, describing participation in consultations and providing feedback to the Government of British Columbia on proposed regulations under the LCFS, zero-emission vehicle sales mandates, and EV charging infrastructure programs. It is also explicit about the outcomes it seeks, namely supporting the electrification of the transportation sector, expanding EV charging infrastructure, reducing transportation sector emissions by 27–32% by 2030, and ensuring a supportive regulatory environment for low-carbon fuel production and EV infrastructure development, aligned with British Columbia’s emission reduction targets and net-zero by 2050 ambitions.

Parkland Corp has established a structured climate-related lobbying governance process, noting that "Parkland’s Policy, Sustainability, Indigenous Relations and Government Relations functions are integrated, helping to ensure consistency between activities with public policy implications in all regions where Parkland operates," and that its integrated Policy, Sustainability and Government Relations department "reports directly to Parkland’s Chief Sustainability Officer who reports to Parkland’s Board ESG Committee on sustainability-related matters on a quarterly basis." The company affirms it will conduct engagement "in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement" and ensures that "all public policy professionals at Parkland who engage directly with governments are registered with the appropriate lobbying authorities and report on their activities on a regular cadence as required by the regulatory bodies," demonstrating clear oversight and monitoring of direct lobbying efforts. However, while Parkland notes participation in industry associations such as the Canadian Fuels Association, it does not disclose a process to review or align these indirect lobbying activities with its climate commitments.
