Let us know if this data was useful to you
Colonial Life, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Company, and any relevant emissions data may be inherited from its parent organisation, Unum Group, which operates at a cascade level of 1. As of now, Colonial Life has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) that would provide a framework for emissions reduction. The lack of publicly available data on emissions and commitments suggests that Colonial Life is still in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. In the broader context of the insurance industry, many companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon reduction. However, without specific commitments or data, Colonial Life's current climate impact remains unclear.
