American Airlines Group Inc

American Airlines has implemented a comprehensive governance process for its climate-related advocacy, with senior leadership and a board committee overseeing both direct and indirect lobbying activities. For direct lobbying, "American Airlines maintains a robust compliance program for advocacy activity, with oversight by senior and experienced leadership," under the supervision of its "Senior Vice President for Corporate Affairs and Chief Government Affairs Officer," who "oversees our public policy engagement, including any use of funds to further our regulatory and public policy interests." Indirect lobbying is governed through trade association memberships, which "management reviews and approves ... on at least an annual basis" to ensure they are "consistent with our Company's public policy objectives," and through "regularly engag[ing] with trade associations when we believe their positions may not support our climate goals." The Corporate Governance, Public Responsibility and Safety Committee "oversees this policy and the Company's public policy engagement, political contributions and principal trade association memberships," receiving annual updates and approving policy changes. Furthermore, the company "intends to assess the extent to which the climate lobbying activities of the principal trade groups ... are consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement" and to "make this assessment available on our website and update it annually." We found no evidence of a current publicly available climate-lobbying alignment report or a third-party audit of its lobbying practices, nor does the company disclose specific criteria used in its review, indicating areas where transparency and detail could be strengthened.
