Environmental, Social and Governance: Lloyd’s guidance for managing agents.
Lloyd’s October 2021 ESG Guidance for Managing Agents provides comprehensive strategies for achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. It includes frameworks for climate transition measurement, sustainable underwriting, responsible investment, and embedding ESG principles in decision-making, ensuring alignment with global sustainability goals and supporting multi-sector decarbonisation efforts.
This is ShareAction’s third benchmark of the insurance sector. It assess the policies and practices of 65 of the world’s largest insurance companies across a range of environmental and social issues.
In this report, they assess three different types of insurers:
- Life & Health (L&H) insurers
- Insurers with a relevant property and casualty business (P&C)
- Lloyd’s of London’s managing agents (MA)
Three ranking tables outlining the performance of insurance companies can be found in this report.
Risk Exposure: The Insurers Secretly Backing The Methane Gas Boom in the US Gulf South
Insurance companies are supposed to protect us from catastrophic risks. Yet when it comes to climate change, insurers perpetuate climate chaos and dependence on fossil fuels by insuring new coal, oil, and gas projects while raising premiums and abandoning communities that are hit by worsening and repeat climate disasters.
A glaring example of the insurance industry’s hypocrisy is its role in supporting dangerous Liquefied “Natural” Gas (LNG) terminals across the US Gulf South. (This report will use “methane” in place of LNG, as LNG is composed mostly of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.) New research reveals the insurers are propping up methane export terminals along the US Gulf Coast even as this wave of fossil fuel expansion perpetuates human rights harms and threatens to blow past the Paris Agreement’s climate targets. At least 35 insurance companies including AIG, AXA, Allianz, Chubb, Liberty Mutual, Lloyd’s of London, SCOR, and Sompo are among some of the insurers of these terminals. Information in this report – obtained through more than 50 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests – reveals for the first time the extent and scale of specific insurers’ direct complicity in the reckless expansion of methane.
Report containing the seventh annual rankings and analysis of 30 leading primary insurers and reinsurers, assessing their policies on insuring and investing in coal, oil and gas. The report highlights progress and loopholes, calls out leaders and laggards, and identifies challenges and opportunities for the year ahead.
