Avis Budget Group Inc

Avis Budget Group outlines a clear procedure to ensure that its indirect lobbying activities align with its climate change objectives but does not disclose governance measures for its direct lobbying or a designated person overseeing climate-lobbying alignment. It requires that "Prior to entering into new affiliations or expanding the scope of current affiliations, an organization's policy positions are among the several factors that we would consider," that "through membership and participation, we would be able to monitor whether their activities are consistent with our climate and energy strategy," and it "utilize[s] our annual disclosures to the CDP Climate Change program as an opportunity to further review and assess whether the public policy positions of trade associations for which Avis Budget Group has an affiliation are consistent with our own climate change strategy." The company also states that "Our Vice President of Government Affairs serves on the Board of Directors for ACRA and provides advisory and direction in his capacity as a Board member," yet it does not indicate that this individual oversees or reviews the alignment of lobbying with its climate goals, nor does it publish a dedicated audit or report on its climate-related lobbying efforts. We found no evidence of any formal governance process covering its direct lobbying activities.
