- Public alignment report
- Direct lobbying governance
- Regular monitoring cycle
AIG's lobbying governance framework includes Board and committee oversight, a formal trade-association review process and public lobbying disclosures, but it lacks a comprehensive audit of its climate lobbying or a detailed alignment procedure for its direct advocacy. The company states that "The Board, through the NCGC, oversees ... our policies, practices and reporting with respect to ... government relations and lobbying," and that "employees involved in lobbying, advocacy and political activities do so in accordance with the AIG Code of Conduct ... and in accordance with all applicable ... laws, rules and regulations governing such activities." A Government Affairs team "reviewed a select number of Associations to identify whether there was a misalignment in the climate risk policies and values of AIG," and for any divergences AIG may "voice concerns and/or request that our dissenting view be formally noted." The company also affirms that "AIG files quarterly LD2 reports, which publicly disclose all of our U.S. federal lobbying activities." However, we found no evidence of a dedicated climate-lobbying alignment report or of a documented process for ensuring that AIG's own direct lobbying efforts align with its climate-change commitments, indicating that while indirect lobbying through associations is actively governed, direct lobbying lacks a clear, systematic alignment mechanism.
