Ameriprise Financial Inc

Ameriprise Financial Inc's disclosures on climate lobbying governance reflect only a basic review process without clear accountability or formal oversight. The company explains that "As participants in certain trade associations, we continually assess and contribute to the ongoing development of the organizations' positions on climate change and other relevant topics," indicating an ongoing monitoring of its indirect lobbying, yet it does not disclose a specific individual or formal body responsible for overseeing alignment of those activities. While Ameriprise confirms "Yes, we engaged directly with policy makers" and "Yes, we engaged indirectly through, and/or provided financial or in-kind support to a trade association," it states "No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years" regarding any public commitment to align its engagement activities with global environmental treaties or policy goals, and acknowledges that "we have not evaluated" the consistency of its engagement with such treaties. This suggests that, although some assessment processes exist, the company provides no evidence of formal sign-off procedures, periodic audits, or dedicated reporting to ensure its lobbying aligns with its climate objectives.
