In August 2021, Just Group has formally adopted a carbon emissions reduction target, and is aiming to achieve net zero from its operations by 2025. Over the past three years, the Group’s carbon emissions per full time employee has fallen by 86% to the lowest level in the UK life insurance industry in the FTSE 350. This reduction is due to a broad range of initiatives including a near halving of the property footprint, moving to a renewable energy tariff for purchased electricity, significantly reduced business travel, and a number of facilities improvements and upgrades. Furthermore, the Group is targeting a reduction to net zero in its investment’s portfolio by 2050, with a 50% reduction milestone by 2030, in line with the Association of British Insurers (“ABI”) climate change roadmap, published in July 2021.
