Persefoni came into the Lab with a mission to help the Lloyd’s market to start working towards its goal of net zero underwriting by 2050. At the beginning of the Lab, Persefoni had a lot of engagement from their mentors and a promising discussion about the carbon accounting needs of the Lloyd’s market and the upcoming PCAF guidelines for carbon accounting and reporting in the insurance industry. Some initial progress was made in terms understanding the needs of the market and challenges around data.
