ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance.  It is the way in which businesses are managed in terms of how ethical they are.  It is used by investors, government and shareholders, who now understand that for a business to successful, they must also consider how they do things.  There is a strong link between financial performance and ESG performance.

How do The Green Insurer offset customers' carbon emissions?

Not only do we enable our customers to drive in a greener way, but also we operate our business in a green way.

One way that The Green Insurer does this is by becoming certified as Carbon Neutral (also sometimes called Net Zero).  This means that we balance off or offset all emissions which the business creates.  Additionally, we have a set of green values which define how we operate and live up to our green values.

More information about how we remain true to our green values.

To achieve our Carbon Neutral accreditation we had to:

1. Measure our carbon emissions as a business
2. Put in place a carbon reduction plan to reduce these to zero by 2040
3. Offset all our current emissions

The Green Insurer is a Carbon Neutral business
