Alleghany Corporation's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, Alleghany Corporation does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of publicly disclosed emissions data. The company is a current subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., which may influence its climate strategy and reporting practices. Alleghany Corporation has not set specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other recognised frameworks. Additionally, there are no documented climate pledges or initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions. Given the absence of direct emissions data and reduction commitments, it is essential to consider the broader context of the insurance and reinsurance industry, where companies are increasingly pressured to disclose their environmental impact and set ambitious climate goals. As a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, Alleghany may align its climate strategies with the overarching policies of its parent company, which has made commitments to sustainability and responsible investment. In summary, while Alleghany Corporation currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets, its affiliation with Berkshire Hathaway may provide a framework for future climate commitments and initiatives.
