Allstate’s pledge is 20 years ahead of the 2050 net zero goal set in the Paris Climate Agreement. It reflects Allstate’s decades-long history of integrating strong environmental policies and practices into its business strategy, while building community resilience and helping clients prepare for and recover from climate-related disasters.
“For 25 years, Allstate has worked to strengthen resiliency through prevention, preparedness and mitigation of severe weather caused by global warming,” said Tom Wilson, president and CEO of Allstate Corporation. “As hurricanes, tornadoes and wildfires have increased in intensity, the negative impacts on customers, stakeholders and society have increased. To complement our short-term solution efforts, we make firm and reasonable net zero emissions commitments.
The company is meeting its 2030 net zero goals by reducing the emissions and square footage of Allstate offices, purchasing as much renewable energy as possible, working to reduce emissions from suppliers and eliminating the impact of remaining real estate through limited purchases of credible carbon offsets. .
Allstate’s responsible investment strategy already includes a dedicated impact portfolio that supports climate change mitigation and adaptation, targeting at least $375 million in climate-related commitments between 2021 and 2022.
The company will publicly share progress on emissions targets through its annual sustainability report Allstate’s sustainability website. It contains details of Allstate’s climate strategy 2021 Sustainability Report.
