Colonial Life's reported carbon emissions

Colonial Life currently does not have available data on its carbon emissions, as no specific emissions figures have been provided. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their initiatives. This lack of information suggests that Colonial Life may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy or reporting framework. In the broader context of the insurance industry, many companies are increasingly committing to reducing their carbon footprints and setting science-based targets to align with global climate goals. As such, it will be important for Colonial Life to establish clear commitments and measurable targets in the future to enhance its sustainability profile.
