Climate Finance Policy Engagement Analysis

Climate Lobbying Overview: Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (Nationwide) does not appear to have significant public engagement on climate policy.

Top-Line Messaging on Climate-Related Financial Policy: In a 2024 press release Nationwide reports that in 2023 it responded to “new and proposed sustainability regulations” but gave no further details. Links to Nationwide’s 2022 and 2023 Corporate Sustainability Reports appear to no longer exist online.

Engagement on Specific Climate Policies: According to a Q4 2023 Federal Lobbying Report, Nationwide engaged on a range of specific climate-related policies, including legislation to block mandated climate disclosure, legislation to limit climate-related investing, legislation to eliminate the Federal Insurance Office at the Treasury Department, and the US Inflation Reduction Act. In October 2023, representatives from Nationwide met with the SEC to discuss its proposed climate disclosure rule. Details of this meeting are unclear.

Industry Association Governance: Nationwide has not disclosed a list of its industry association memberships. It is a member of the American Council of Life Insurers and SIFMA.

InfluenceMap collects and assesses evidence of corporate climate policy engagement on a weekly basis, depending on the availability of information from each specific data source (for more information see our methodology). While this analysis flows through to the company’s scores each week, the summary above is updated periodically. This summary was last updated in Q1 2025.
