Car insurance
Choosing an eco-labelled car insurance policy is a meaningful environmental commitment.
Bra Miljöval sets high standards for insurance companies – covering their environmental management, the way they invest insurance premiums, and their efforts to reduce the environmental impact of car repairs and claims handling.
The insurance industry has both a strong potential and a unique position in the transition towards sustainable development.
It plays several key roles: as a major purchaser of goods and services in connection with claims management, as an advisor on risk prevention, and as a manager of large financial assets while awaiting potential claims.
Because a significant share of these funds is invested during the waiting period before claims are settled, the investment strategies and portfolio choices of insurers have a direct impact on the climate and the environment. By integrating sustainability criteria and responsible investment principles, the insurance sector can contribute meaningfully to reducing environmental impact and supporting long-term resilience.
