RenaissanceRe's reported carbon emissions

In 2019, RenaissanceRe reported total carbon emissions of approximately 10,795,000 kg CO2e globally, with significant contributions from Scope 3 emissions, particularly from business travel, which accounted for about 9,465,000 kg CO2e. In the US, the company’s emissions totalled around 947,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity at about 268,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions from business travel at approximately 679,000 kg CO2e. RenaissanceRe has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions profile, it may not yet have formalised strategies to mitigate its carbon footprint. As the industry increasingly prioritises climate action, RenaissanceRe's future commitments will be crucial in aligning with global sustainability goals.
