Our Climate Strategy

Enable

We’re playing an active role by supporting industries that are key to the transition.
In Ireland, we are a leading insurer of renewables.

Adapt

Double down on helping society adapt to climate change.

Even as efforts to reduce GHG emissions progress, extreme weather events will continue to rise in frequency and intensity. Adapting to physical climate risks is therefore critical for building resilient communities.

• Invest in thought leadership and applied research to build climate resilience through our partnerships with the University of Limerick

We’re doubling down on helping people adapt to the effects of climate change. Our partners are exploring real, concrete solutions to make our communities, our people and our economy more resilient.

Commit

Credibility on climate action requires addressing our own GHG emissions. We are reducing emissions from our own operations while strengthening our capacity to pursue net zero.

• Halve operations emissions by 2030
• Address Scope 3 emissions through targeted action

Our plan includes reduction initiatives, such as minimised energy consumption and reducing corporate travel.

100% of the electricity in our Irish offices are sourced from renewable sources. 

Collaborate

Collaborate with governments and industry to influence and accelerate climate action.

Governments play a critical role in aligning and prioritizing the efforts of society and the economy. We will use our credibility and expertise on climate adaptation to identify solutions, create consensus, and accelerate policy action.

We will:

• Engage with governments on building for the future and in the right places
• Advocate for enhanced investments in climate resilience
