Zurich Insurance commits to net zero by 2030

Zurich Insurance has announced its desire to achieve net zero in its own operations by 2030, bringing the target forward by two decades.

Originally set for 2050, the Swiss Insurer’s new target will see a combination of carbon offsetting and renewable energy used to achieve it.

It stated: “Zurich Insurance Group is bringing forward by 20 years its target to achieve net zero emissions in its operations - after implementing plans announced last year to achieve deep cuts in absolute emissions this decade.

“After that, emissions that cannot be avoided will be removed from the atmosphere.”
