During the general meeting, Thierry Léger, CEO of SCOR, announced a strengthening of the Group’s strategy in terms of sustainable development.
To align with the Paris Agreement and the trajectories for limiting global warming to 1.5oC1 based on scientific knowledge, SCOR has set its first intermediate decarbonization target for the scope of companies with their head office in Europe, applicable to its direct damage insurance and optional damage reinsurance activities (on the commercial lines of the PCAF2 protocol, when company data is reliable). Based on the PCAF methodology (version 1 dated November 2022), SCOR’s objective is to achieve a reduction in carbon emissions intensity of 23% by 2030 compared to the end of 2022.
SCOR will strive to achieve this intermediate target of -23% by 2030, in a reasonable manner. However, achieving this target depends on factors outside SCOR’s scope of control. The actions and policies of public authorities, and the transition of all stakeholders towards the decarbonization of the real economy, are determining elements for the world to respect the Paris Agreement.
Other factors related to climate science and political, geopolitical, economic and regulatory developments that are outside SCOR’s scope of control could impact the Group’s ability to achieve its target. Without decisive and comprehensive action from public authorities, SCOR will not be able to achieve its target and the world will not be able to respect the 1.5oC trajectory.
