Beazley scores 32/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified August 2026.

That places Beazley joint 533rd of 809 companies scored, and joint 9th of 10 in Insurance.

Beazley reports operational emissions with no third-party assurance and minimal Scope 3 coverage, masking material underwriting exposure to fossil fuels. No validated net-zero targets exist. Active fossil fuel underwriting—confirmed by Reclaim Finance and Insure Our Future—places Beazley in the materially complicit tier despite a coal exclusion policy.
