Codan has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon emissions. However, the company is likely aware of the growing emphasis on sustainability and climate commitments within the industry. As a result, Codan may need to consider establishing measurable targets to align with global climate goals and enhance their environmental responsibility.
