AIG is the major global partner of the All Blacks and it's doing what 14 other companies have refused to do: insure the Adani Carmichael mine. The most bitterly opposed mine in Australia’s history.
If built, this massive new coal mine will pump out more carbon than whole countries. It will help destroy the Great Barrier Reef and tear up the native lands of the Wangan and Jagalingou peoples.
And it’s only possible because AIG is insuring it.
Right now AIG is in damage control. It’s hoping that another win for the All Blacks will help smooth over the bad PR they’ve been receiving for getting into bed with Adani. Let's strip them of this social licence to wreck our climate.
Call on Mark Robinson, CEO of Rugby NZ, to have the All Blacks drop AIG as a sponsor now.
