In recent years, we have seen more extreme weather as a result of higher temperatures and general climate change. The extreme weather poses a challenge to everybody, also to us as an insurance company. We need both solutions to how to adapt to changing weather conditions and long-term solutions to reduce temperature rises.

At Topdanmark, we want to contribute to solutions that benefit both our customers and society. We support the Paris Agreement’s target of a maximum temperature rise of no more than 1.5 degrees by 2050. In practice, this means that we integrate climate considerations into the way we do business. At the same time, we want to support the Danish Parliament’s Climate Act and the goal of a 70% CO2 reduction in 2030.

The pressure on the world’s resources, e.g. through our consumption of consumer goods, poses a challenge to the environment. There is a great need for us to reduce our footprint in nature – e.g. through recycling and less waste. We want to contribute to that, and therefore, we focus on circular economy through reuse and repair after damage.

With our initiatives under ‘Green transformation’ we contribute to sustainable development goals no. 12 Responsible consumption and production, and goal no. 13 Climate action.
