Insights into Swiss Re's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Swiss Re has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.
Does Swiss Re have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, Swiss Re has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Swiss Re's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 53% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 3,356 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2018.
As of 2024, Swiss Re is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 91.53% of the planned reduction.
Swiss Re's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Swiss Re have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2024, Swiss Re has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
Swiss Re's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 60% by 2027, compared to a baseline of 69,653 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2018.
Swiss Re has already surpassed its value chain emissions reduction target, with 2024 levels falling below the 2027 value, achieving its climate goal ahead of schedule.
