Securian Canada achieves gold-level Parity Certification™ from Women in Governance
TORONTO, March 4, 2026 – Securian Canada, a leading insurance provider of innovative, life-ready insurance solutions in Canada, is proud to announce its gold-level Parity Certification™ from Women in Governance, a recognition that highlights measurable progress toward gender equity in the workplace.
Since its founding in 2010, Women in Governance has guided more than 150 major companies across Canada and the United States in adopting more inclusive practices – fostering environments where equity is not just an aspiration, but a measurable and sustainable reality.
“At Securian Canada, we believe that organizations are stronger when there is equal opportunity for women to shape strategy and lead at every level,” said Nigel Branker, Chief Executive Officer, Securian Canada. “This milestone is meaningful but is not the finish line, because gender parity requires ongoing action and accountability. We remain focused on creating opportunities, elevating voices and building leadership pathways that reflect the diversity of our employee population, our clients and partners, and the communities we serve.”
The gold-level Parity Certification represents a significant milestone in Securian Canada’s journey to advance gender equity across all levels of the organization and follows a bronze-level Parity Certification held since 2023.
Beyond practices in the workplace, Securian Canada supports initiatives that advance equity within its surrounding communities, including via collaborations that encourage diverse representation and accessibility in sports.
