Insurance financed-emissions method profile (2025 edition)

Measurement answer

What this metric measures

A structured account of how an insurer sets its financed-emissions investment boundary, attribution method, scope treatment, estimates, exclusions and data-quality controls.

Reporting boundary

The financed-emissions method applied to the declared insurance-investment perimeter, including the industry-classification system, derivative exclusions and other financial activities outside the measurement boundary.

Disclosure form

No single formula

Record the method components without converting them into a score. The disclosure is a method profile, not one arithmetic output.

Verified sources

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: Sustopedia financial-sector financed-emissions profile, version 1.1, reviewed 2026-09-01 against the December 2025 primary amendment.

  • Investment, industry and asset-class boundary.
  • Required asset classes: Loans, bonds, equity investments and undrawn loan commitments.
  • Attribution approach and emissions scopes.
  • Estimation, data-quality and exclusion policies.
  • Changes from the prior reporting period.
  • Selected industry-classification system and version.
  • Why the selected classification system enables users to understand exposure to climate-related transition risks, including whether a commonly used system was prioritised.
  • Whether the entity elected to exclude greenhouse-gas emissions attributable to derivatives.
  • What the entity treated as a derivative when applying the exclusion.
  • Financial activities excluded from the financed-emissions boundary, including activities associated with derivatives.

Record-specific limitations

  • A method profile is not a financed-emissions amount or a coverage percentage.
  • Different attribution, exposure, scope and estimate treatments can materially change results.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
