The insurer raises its demands for sustainability and positions itself as a relevant actor in the fight against climate change It will reduce its environmental footprint as much as possible, and will support decarbonization through subscription and investment. MAPFRE has joined the Net-Zero Insurance Alliance (NZIA) with the objective of achieving greenhouse emissions neutrality by 2050, that is, zero total emissions in their insurance and reinsurance underwriting portfolios. This commitment raises MAPFRE's sustainability requirements, since it implies that in the coming years it must reduce the emission of greenhouse gases as much as possible throughout the organization and eliminate residual emissions that have not been able to be reduced through compensation projects.
To do this, MAPFRE must establish subscription criteria where it can have a significant impact in terms of emissions, as well as define decarbonization commitments with the most relevant clients, and promote agreements, products and services that promote the reduction of the carbon footprint, among others. . Being Net-Zero means that the Group contributes to one of the challenges of the Paris Agreement, which consists of limiting the increase in global Guatemala Mobile Number List temperature to 1.5ºC above pre-industrial levels, in the year 2100. “ Economic decarbonization is essential for the planet,” highlighted Antonio Huertas, president of MAPFRE, who indicated that “our environmental commitment is to raise the demand for sustainability in a firm and progressive way, accompanying society in a just transition, and helping our clients and the people who depend on their activity to also converge in that direction.

The insurer's 2022-2024 Sustainability Plan and 2021-2030 Corporate Environmental Footprint Plan include objectives that reflect that the entity wants to be an active part in the “necessary and urgent transformation towards a low-carbon economy .” In this sense, by 2024, the company has committed to neutralize MAPFRE's carbon footprint in eight countries and by 2030, the challenge is to reduce the Group's carbon footprint by 50% (compared to 2019) and neutralize the carbon footprint remaining for the entire Group.
