The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. However, it is important to note that Brit Insurance's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Brit Insurance Holdings B.V., which is part of a broader corporate family relationship with Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited. Overall, Brit Insurance's emissions profile highlights a significant reliance on business travel for its carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for the majority of its total emissions in both 2023 and 2024. The company continues to monitor its emissions across all scopes, but further commitments to reduction strategies are not currently documented.
