United Airlines Holdings Inc
- Direct lobbying governance
- Regular monitoring cycle
United Airlines appears to maintain a moderate governance framework for its lobbying activities, with oversight from the Public Responsibility Committee of the UAL Board and senior executives. It states that "public engagement on climate issues is coordinated through our International Regulatory Affairs and Government Affairs departments to ensure consistency across business divisions and geographies," and that "our environmental programs and policies, including environmental sustainability, are overseen by United's President and the Executive Vice President of Government Affairs and Global Public Policy," with the Managing Director of Global Environmental Affairs and Sustainability reporting into government affairs to promote alignment with its climate strategy. The company's Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and related lobbying policy, which "is publicly available on our website," are reviewed at least annually by the Public Responsibility Committee, and the Executive Vice President of Government Affairs and Global Public Policy "reports regularly to the UAL Board" on policy advocacy and lobbying expenditures. However, United does not disclose a specific climate-lobbying alignment process for its indirect lobbying through trade associations, nor does it publish an in-depth audit or third-party review of its climate-related lobbying activities.
