01 Introduction and strategy 02 Measuring and managing sustainability 03 Climate change related disclosure 04 Strengthening our foundation 05 Our universal principles 03.3 Targets Our support for the net-zero transition is steered by our commitment to set science-based emission reduction targets and reach net-zero emissions by 2050 in our business operations, our insurance underwriting and our proprietary investment portfolio in line with the Paris Agreement’s target of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. This already fulfills the recommendations 1 and 2 of the U.N. HLEG report on Net-Zero Commitment of Non-State Entities 1 and we will continue to advance our work on this. For emission- related targets, no offsetting credits were used.
