Allbirds scores 90.12 out of 100 on the NOligarchy scale. That headline number carries a significant caveat: across every source this project tracks — federal lobbying filings, Political Action Committee (PAC) records, executive donation histories, CEO pay disclosures, stock buyback filings, regulatory violation databases, and public subsidy records — no matching data has been found for Allbirds covering the period from Q3 2024 through Q2 2026 (8 quarters — the two-year tracking period). That finding reflects the current state of available public records, not a confirmed verdict that the company spent nothing or broke no rules.

Score history — 23 quarters
Tier bands show where each quarter's score falls — no numeric y-axis needed. The dashed ring marks the year-over-year comparison point. Tap any quarter but the first to see its pillar breakdown.
•
Political Access Grade: 100/100. Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) searches return no filings, and no PAC activity or executive contributions to federal candidates have been matched to Allbirds in the tracked sources. The perfect score reflects an absence of matched records — not a verified finding of zero political spending.
•
Wealth Extraction Grade: 60.35/100. No CEO pay disclosures, stock buyback filings, or dividend records have been matched to this company across the tracked sources. The score draws on an industry benchmark estimate for the CEO-to-worker pay gap, applied in the absence of any company-level disclosure.
•
Playing by the Rules Grade: 100/100. No regulatory fines, penalties, or public subsidy records have been matched to Allbirds across the tracked sources.
Allbirds ranks 2nd out of 12 companies in the Shoe retailers sector. The sector average score is 81.5 — Allbirds sits above that figure at 90.12. Because the elevated scores here flow from categories where no data has yet been matched rather than from verified clean behavior, that ranking is best read as a reflection of current data availability rather than a confirmed accountability record.
The Bottom Line: A Public Record That Hasn’t Yet Filled In
No lobbying filings, PAC contributions, executive donations, CEO pay disclosures, stock buyback records, regulatory fines, or public subsidy records have been matched to Allbirds across any source this project tracks for the period from Q3 2024 through Q2 2026. That means this profile cannot point to a single most revealing choice — there is no confirmed spending or violation pattern on the record to analyze. What is visible is a company with approximately $152.5 million in annual revenue, per SEC EDGAR 10-K (CIK 0001653909), operating largely outside the window of matched public records. Whether that represents genuine restraint, a gap in data matching, or both remains an open question.
Outside Current Tracking Coverage
No federal lobbying filings have been matched to Allbirds under the Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) for the period from Q3 2024 through Q2 2026, and no PAC activity or executive donations to federal candidates appear in Federal Election Commission (FEC) records matched to this company. No lobbying firms, in-house lobbyists, or former government insiders appear in any linked filing.
That absence may be accurate — a $152.5 million footwear retailer sitting out Washington entirely — or records may exist that have not yet been linked to this company in the tracking system. Allbirds operates in a sector where competitors regularly file disclosures on trade policy, import tariffs, and labor regulations, which makes the lack of matched filings notable. This is the current state of the public record, not a confirmed finding.
EXHIBIT — THE RESERVED SEAT
$0 in lobbying · $0 in PAC money
Allbirds filed no federal lobbying and ran no corporate PAC in this window — the reserved seat at the witness table sits empty.
No Matched Records on Executive Pay or Shareholder Returns
No CEO pay disclosure, stock buyback record, or dividend payment has been matched to Allbirds across the tracked sources for the two-year period. Because no company-level figure is available, the closest reference point comes from AFL-CIO Executive Paywatch industry benchmarks: 165:1, based on AFL-CIO Executive Paywatch industry benchmarks for comparable companies in this sector. That figure is not an Allbirds disclosure — it is a benchmark estimate applied in the absence of any company-level data, and it carries all the uncertainty that implies.
Without matched filings on shareholder returns, there is no basis for calculating what buyback or dividend spending may have amounted to over this period, or what those dollars might have meant for the people doing the day-to-day work.
Outside Current Tracking Coverage
No regulatory fines, penalties, or violation records have been matched to Allbirds across the tracked sources for the period from Q3 2024 through Q2 2026. No government subsidies, grants, or publicly recorded tax incentives appear in the matched record either. Whether that reflects a genuinely clean compliance sheet or an incomplete match to enforcement databases is not something the available data can confirm.
