Argo Group International Holdings, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Bam Re Holdings Ltd.

Argo Group International Holdings, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company has not established any documented reduction targets or climate pledges, which suggests a lack of formal commitments to reducing its carbon footprint at this time. It is important to note that Argo Group's emissions data may be cascaded from its corporate family. Specifically, performance data may be inherited from Bam Re Holdings Ltd., which is at a cascade level of 4. However, without specific emissions figures or reduction initiatives from either Argo Group or its parent company, it is challenging to assess their overall climate impact or commitments.

However, as of now, Argo Group has not publicly aligned itself with such frameworks or disclosed any significant climate commitments.
