Climate change and environment

Having counted and offset our carbon since 2006, we’ve continued to reduce our environmental footprint. We remain engaged with major industry and international institutions to protect our customers from the effects of climate change.

We’ve moved forward this year ...

We offset the emissions that we cannot yet reduce, and have a widespread utilities efficiency programme that reaches every single socket in the company.

We’re committed to doing more ...

We’re on top of the Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme, but there’s more we can do – water, travel, IT, electricity, gas and waste are in our sights for further reductions.

We’re committed to the challenges ...

We’re working with the United Nations Environment Programme, ClimateWise and many other industry bodies to develop best practice across the financial services industry. We’re also supporting the low-carbon economy with new products, as well as assessing the risk to the homes and businesses that we insure.
