AIB Group PLC
- Withdrawal mechanism
- Paris Agreement alignment
- Direct lobbying governance
AIB Group PLC provides only limited disclosure of its lobbying governance, referencing an internal policy framework without describing oversight or alignment mechanisms specific to climate lobbying. For example, the company states that "our approach to lobbying is covered in our Conflicts of Interest policy and Financial Crime policy (which are publicly available), and our internal Lobbying policy," and notes that it is "registered as a lobbyist, albeit we do not actively lobby." It also confirms a public commitment to align its engagement with climate goals, answering "Yes" to having "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." However, the company does not disclose who is responsible for reviewing or approving its lobbying activities, how it monitors or manages alignment with its climate policy, or any mechanisms for assessing or exiting industry associations whose positions may conflict. We found no evidence of a named individual, committee, or review process overseeing the alignment of its direct or indirect lobbying with its climate objectives.
