Swiss Reinsurance Company Ltd's reported carbon emissions
Swiss Reinsurance Company Ltd, headquartered in CH, reported its carbon emissions data for the year 2013. The company disclosed that its CO2 emissions per employee (full-time equivalent) for Scope 1 and 2 amounted to approximately 613 kg CO2e. However, there is no available data on total emissions or specific Scope 3 emissions. Currently, Swiss Re does not have any publicly stated reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of specific climate pledges or commitments indicates that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. In summary, while Swiss Re has provided some emissions data, it lacks comprehensive emissions reporting and defined reduction targets, reflecting a broader context within the industry where many companies are increasingly focusing on climate commitments.
