a.s.r. joins Forum for Insurance Transition to Net-Zero (FIT)
FIT, a new initiative that was launched today by UNEP, follows up on the efforts of the NZIA. FIT brings together insurers, reinsurers, regulators and other stakeholders to work on methodologies and standards that promote climate risk mitigation through accelerating and scaling up climate action by the insurance industry.
Mariska van Donge, manager Sustainability, Benchmarking and Reporting at a.s.r.: 'a.s.r. welcomes UNEP's initiative to provide a broader follow-up to NZIA's efforts with the launch of FIT. This step allows us to build on the frameworks we delivered under the NZIA. With our entry, we once again emphasise our commitment to supporting and accelerating the transition to a net zero economy.'
By participating in the forum, a.s.r. commits to:
- Assess climate risks: a.s.r. will evaluate its activities and investments based on climate risks, aiming for a low-carbon portfolio.
- Promote transparency: a.s.r. will disclose its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and will achieve climate targets.
- Collaborate with other stakeholders: a.s.r. will actively work with other insurers, governments, and civil society organisations to drive the transition toward a sustainable future.
