Lloyd's follows the six core principles of the Climatewise initiative to respond to the challenge of climate change.

Lloyd's was a founding signatory of the Climatewise principles for the insurance industry in September 2007. The initiative encourages insurance companies worldwide to respond to the challenge of climate change as quickly and effectively as possible. 

Forty insurance companies are members, including 15 managing agents in the Lloyd's market. Climatewise's six core principles form the framework of Lloyd's approach to responding to climate change:

  1. Support Risk Analysis
  2. Inform Public Policy Making
  3. Support Climate Awareness
  4. Incorporate Climate Change into our Investment Strategies
  5. Reduce our Environmental Impact
  6. Report and Be Accountable

> ClimateWise

The insurance sector enables business and individuals to manage risk including long-term threats such as climate change. And the long-term stability of our economy hinges on an appropriate response to this threat.

> Carbon Reduction

The Corporation of Lloyd’s has been measuring its carbon footprint in the UK since 2007.
