For example, the Dutch Association of Insurers has successfully completed the first phase for the development of ESG reporting standards for insurers . In doing so, the sector is taking an important step towards greater transparency and unambiguity in the way insurers report on the CO2 emissions of business portfolios such as fire, liability, motor and agriculture and private car insurance. This ensures more transparency, comparability and reliability towards consumers, regulators and other stakeholders. It is up to insurers to decide whether to apply the standards, based on the PCAF standards, in the 2026 annual report. The developed standards show that the sector is able to convert complex regulations into practical solutions. This will enable insurers to better understand their carbon footprint. And that helps to achieve climate goals.
Participants wanted for new standards to be developed
The Association will work on two new ESG sector standards for residential, private and freight vehicles. To this end, program manager Martijn Minkenberg is looking for specialists from insurers who want to be part of a private residential sector team and a freight vehicle sector team.
