A welcome trend that is set to continue. However, overall the industry has failed to align its business with the scientific consensus on what is required to limit global warming to 1.5\u00b0C.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some insurers argue that they are engaging their energy sector customers in a dialogue about the net zero transition and that this can encourage them to transition faster then excluding them from their insurance and investment portfolios. But major oil and gas producers show no signs of adopting credible net zero pathways and some have recently even walked back the weak commitments they have made in the past, despite their recent obscene record profits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the UN Secretary-General said recently, \u201c2023 is a year of reckoning.\u201d \u201cIt must be a year of game-changing climate action. No more baby steps. No more excuses. No more greenwashing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year, the Insure Our Future network publishes an open letter to the CEOs of 30 major insurance companies whose fossil fuel policies are ranked annually by Insure Our Future, among which are: AIG, Allianz, AXA, Chubb, Generali, Liberty Mutual, Lloyd\u2019s of London, Munich Re, SCOR, Sinosure, SOMPO, Tokio Marine and Zurich.
