John Hancock Life Insurance Company's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Manulife Financial Corporation

John Hancock Life 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. The company is part of a corporate family relationship with Manulife Financial Corporation, from which it inherits emissions data and climate commitments. As a merged entity, John Hancock's climate initiatives and targets are aligned with those of Manulife Financial Corporation. However, specific reduction targets or achievements have not been disclosed.
