Colony Specialty Insurance Company's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Argo Re, Ltd.

Colony Specialty Insurance Company, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available.

While Colony Specialty Insurance Company has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, it is important to note that emissions data and performance metrics may be inherited from its parent company, Argo Group International Holdings, Inc.
