Metrics and targets

Our target setting process supports the implementation of the Group Sustainability Strategy. As sustainability-related targets form part of a highly dynamic area, we will continue to assess our targets, approaches and definitions in light of developments, including with respect to the actions of clients, businesses and governments, which are not within our control.

Addressing climate change is a priority at Swiss Re, and most targets focus on the decarbonisation of the company and its value chain. This supports our aim to reach net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its entire business by 2050.
