Protective Life Insurance Company's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Dai-ichi Life Holdings, Inc.

Protective Life Insurance Company, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of Protective Life Corporation, which may influence its climate-related initiatives and commitments. While there are no documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges from Protective Life Insurance Company, it is important to note that emissions data may be cascaded from its parent organisation, Protective Life Corporation, or from Dai-ichi Life Holdings, Inc., which is at a cascade level of three.

As of now, the company has not publicly outlined any significant reduction initiatives or targets, indicating a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy.
