The Canada Life Assurance Company's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Great-West Lifeco Inc.

The Canada Life Assurance Company currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. However, it is important to note that emissions data may be cascaded from its parent organization, Great-West Lifeco Inc., which operates at a higher corporate level. As a current subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco Inc., The Canada Life Assurance Company may align its climate commitments and reduction initiatives with those of its parent company. However, no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been identified for The Canada Life Assurance Company itself. In the context of climate action, the company is part of a broader industry movement towards sustainability, although specific initiatives or targets have not been disclosed. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction commitments suggests that The Canada Life Assurance Company is still in the process of developing its climate strategy or may rely on the overarching goals set by Great-West Lifeco Inc. Overall, while The Canada Life Assurance Company is positioned within a corporate family that may have climate initiatives, specific emissions data and reduction targets for the company remain unspecified.
