Lic's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, Lic has not reported any specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of publicly disclosed emissions data. Consequently, there are no details regarding Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions or any significant reduction targets or achievements. Lic has not outlined any specific climate commitments or initiatives, nor have they set Science-Based Targets (SBTi) for emissions reduction. The absence of a climate pledge further highlights the need for enhanced transparency and accountability in their environmental impact reporting. While Lic does not inherit emissions data from a parent company, it is essential for the organisation to consider establishing clear climate commitments and reduction targets to align with industry standards and expectations. This would not only improve their sustainability profile but also contribute positively to the broader climate action efforts within the insurance sector.
