Munich Re plots to knock quarter of emissions by 2025 — but finds march to net zero ‘incredibly difficult’

Global reinsurer Munich Re will cut the greenhouse gas footprint of the equity, corporate bond and real-estate portions of its investment portfolio by 25 to 29 percent to 2025, with heightened cuts for hydrocarbon industry exposures, as it ramps up its march to a net zero position to 2050, officials said late Wednesday, December 8.
