Government Removes Health and Life Insurers from Climate Reporting to Cut Costs
1 month ago | 345 viewsThe Government is removing health and life insurers from the mandatory climate reporting regime, as these insurers are not directly exposed to climate risks and reporting adds unnecessary costs to their clients. This change follows previous adjustments raising the reporting threshold and excluding certain schemes, reducing the number of businesses required to report from 164 to around 67. The focus remains on ensuring large businesses with significant impact continue reporting, while cutting red tape for firms where reporting is less relevant.
