AIG Europe S.A. is the European arm of American International Group, Inc. (AIG), a leading global insurance organization with operations in approximately 70 countries. Established in the EU Transparency Register on 25 April 2016, AIG Europe S.A. focuses on representing AIG’s interests before EU institutions, particularly in legislative and regulatory areas affecting the insurance sector. The firm targets a broad range of EU policy files including the Insurance Distribution Directive, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Solvency II, and issues related to innovation, technology, product liability, sustainable finance, capital standards, and energy. Its lobbying efforts aim to influence policies that impact the insurance industry and broader financial services environment, ensuring regulatory frameworks accommodate the evolving needs of insurers and their customers.
AIG Europe S.A. operates primarily from its head office in Luxembourg, which also serves as its EU office. The firm engages in advocacy both directly and through contributions to position papers of national insurance trade associations. It is affiliated with several key industry bodies such as the Association of British Insurers (ABI) and other national insurance associations including ACA, GDV, FFA, and ANIA. These affiliations help AIG Europe S.A. network within the insurance sector and amplify its influence on EU policymaking.
The lobbying firm employs a small team of lobbyists, with a total of three individuals declared, amounting to 0.3 full-time equivalent (FTE) lobbyists. None of these lobbyists currently hold European Parliament accreditations. The firm’s lobbying expenditures for the financial year from September 2023 to August 2024 were estimated between €400,000 and €499,999. These costs include fees paid to trade associations engaged in European advocacy activities.
AIG Europe S.A. does not declare participation in any specific European Commission or European Parliament groups. Its communication activities largely involve monitoring relevant policy developments and contributing to the collective positions of its trade associations. The firm maintains transparency by registering its lobbying activities and expenditures in accordance with the EU Transparency Register’s code of conduct, which aims to provide public insight into who is influencing EU policy and how resources are allocated.
