Travelers Insurance is one of the three biggest insurers for oil and gas companies in the world. But it tries to market itself as a green company. Last week, investors took an important first step toward reining in Travelers’ support for destructive fossil fuels by approving a proposal for the company to report on how it is reducing emissions in line with the Paris Agreement. However, a proposal calling on Travelers to end support for new coal, oil, and gas projects was not approved — even though ending that support is crucial for avoiding climate chaos.
So it’s up to us to ramp up the pressure and convince Travelers to end support for new fossil fuel projects that are escalating deadly climate disasters.
Can you email Travelers executives to urge them to end their dangerous insurance of fossil fuel expansion? We’re proud of Travelers’ investors for holding the company accountable to the Paris Agreement’s climate goals.
But if Travelers is still insuring new oil and gas drilling operations and pipelines, it’s still playing a major role in the intensifying climate crisis! We must push back against its aggressive marketing as a sustainable, green company and expose the fact that it is one of the world’s biggest enablers of the climate crisis.
Email Travelers executives right now to set the record straight on the company’s destructive climate record. Together, we can convince Travelers to insure our future, not fossil fuels.
Thanks for taking action, Hannah Public Citizen |
