Lobbying Governance
| Overall Assessment | Analysis | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Moderate |
Aflac describes a limited governance mechanism for its indirect climate lobbying by noting that “the Company is a member of a number of trade associations focused on insurance and asset ownership... including on climate-related topics” and that “the Company ensures that its climate change strategy is considered when the Company participates in these working groups and provides feedback on relevant topics.” However, “the Company does not conduct any additional engagement with climate-related policy and regulations beyond this involvement,” and it explicitly states “No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years” regarding a public commitment aligned with the Paris Agreement. We found no evidence of a named individual or formal body overseeing lobbying alignment, nor any defined process for direct lobbying reviews, indicating that while there is some alignment with climate strategy via trade associations, the oversight and broader governance of climate-related lobbying efforts remain moderate and incomplete.
