Insured vehicle and property repairs account for a whole 1% of global carbon emissions. So, when Claims Carbon teamed up with us, it was with a clear and ambitious goal: to shrink this footprint in the insurance world. Together, we've turned complicated data into decisions that don't just count – they care for our planet. In this project, our role became more than a technological partner supporting Claims Carbon's eco-driven mission; KOIA is now a proud investor. This commitment reflects our dedication to environmental stewardship, starting with the transformative step of decarbonising the insurance industry.
Claims Carbon faced a unique challenge, distinct from the norm. While many in the industry focus on direct emissions like office energy use or travel, Claims Carbon dared to delve deeper. Their goal? To untangle the complex web of emissions resulting not just from their own activities, but from the insurance decisions they influence, encompassing various risk types and their actual carbon footprint.
How does one even begin to measure this maze of emissions? It's not straightforward, as data might cover anything from an entire car to its smallest components. And consider the curveballs: what if a car's parts are sourced differently, or emission estimates change? This is where KOIA stepped in, partnering with Claims Carbon. Our mission was to create a data model that would be adaptable and nuanced enough to handle emissions data at any level of detail – whether zooming out to the big picture or zeroing in on the minutiae.
