Lettre ouverte au nouveau directeur général de SCOR Thierry Léger

Reclaim Finance and a coalition of 14 organizations have issued an open letter to Thierry Léger, the new CEO of SCOR, urging the French reinsurer to stop supporting the expansion of fossil fuels. The letter highlights that SCOR is the last major European reinsurer still providing coverage for new gas fields. The authors request that SCOR's new strategic plan, to be presented at the general assembly on May 25, include commitments to cease coverage for new oil and gas fields—removing exceptions for companies claiming to be "in transition"—and to stop covering midstream infrastructure, specifically liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals.

• SCOR is identified as the last major European reinsurer that continues to enable the development of new gas fields through its insurance coverage.
• The document argues that SCOR's financial performance in 2022, which saw net losses for the first time in 20 years, was driven in part by the effects of climate change.
• Reclaim Finance demands that SCOR align with competitors like Munich Re, Hannover Re, Swiss Re, and Allianz by committing to stop covering new oil and gas fields and new LNG terminals.
• The letter specifies that SCOR should remove the exception in its current policy for new fields developed by companies described as "in transition," arguing that such companies cannot be considered in transition if they have not committed to stopping new oil and gas field development.
