In 2009, some 1,400 t of CO2 were emitted, an increase of 16% (around 190 t) on the previous year. Our international events accounted for the bulk of these. To compensate for our emissions, we supported a project in Cape Town, Sout Africa.

In 2008, unavoidable emissions arising out of the foundation’s projects and office activities were approximately 1,200 t, i.e. up 12% on the previous year. As in 2007, this was largely due to an increase in the number of delegates attending the Microinsurance Conference.

The CO2 emissions in 2007 showed an increase of 384.7 t over the previous year. This was mainly due to a rise in the number of participants at the Microinsurance Conference. The total CO2 emissions of the Munich Re Foundation amounted to 1,089 t. In order to compensate for our emissions, we support a project in India.

Munich Re Foundation’s work induces unavoidable CO2 emissions. The Foundation’s aim is to compensate for these emissions and to structure its activities as neutrally as possible. In 2006 the total emissions of the Munich Re Foundation amounted to 700 t of CO2. In order to offset our CO2 emissions we are supporting a Project in Eritrea focused on distributing the use of efficient cooking stoves.
