Insured emissions are the proportion of Green House Gas emissions from policyholders, attributable to the insurer. The idea being, by the simple act of insuring policyholders, insurers are enabling the production of Green House Gas emissions and so should take some responsibility for them.
But how can we get hold of Green House Emissions produced by policyholders and the proportion of these emissions that should be attributed back to the insurer?
How can insurers adapt their products and policy terms as part of the global transition to net-zero?

At KPMG we’re working hard across our business to bring the relevant transition insights by sector and theme, so if you would like to discuss what it means for your firm, get in touch with Roger.
