Our climate commitments
At Akur8, we believe that building better insurance technology and caring for the planet are not in conflict, they go hand in hand. As a fast-growing SaaS company, we are committed to understanding and reducing our environmental impact in a way that is honest, proportionate, and meaningful.
Where we stand today
In 2025, Akur8's total GHG emissions amounted to 1,500 tCO2e, representing 7.5 tCO2e per employee, a reduction of 3% per employee compared to 2024, despite a 31% growth in headcount. Over the same period, our revenue grew by 58% to 26M€, bringing our emissions per million euros of revenue down by 19%, to 60 tCO2e/M€.
Akur8 has received a Bronze Climate Strategy Rating, placing it in the top 30% of companies assessed by Greenly.
Our GHG assessment is conducted annually in partnership with Greenly, following the official methodology of the French Ministry of Ecological Transition and ADEME (Bilan Carbone®, PRG 100).
Where our emissions come from
As a pure SaaS company with no manufacturing or physical product, our footprint is concentrated in a small number of categories: business travel and commuting (449 tCO2e, 40% of total), digital infrastructure and cloud computing (242 tCO2e, 21%), and purchased services (129 tCO2e, 11%). These three categories represent over 70% of our total emissions, and they are where we focus our reduction efforts.
Our targets
Akur8 is working towards a single overarching goal: reduce its total GHG emissions intensity by 25% per million euros of revenue by 2030, from a 2025 baseline of 60 tCO2e/M€ to a target of 45 tCO2e/M€. This global commitment is pursued through three supporting axes.
Axis 1 - Scope 1: Maintaining near-zero direct emissions
As a SaaS company with no fleet, no industrial boiler, and no manufacturing process, our Scope 1 emissions are near zero. Our 2025 Scope 1 emissions stand at 64 tCO2e, representing just 4% of total emissions. We are working to keep our absolute Scope 1 emissions at a stable and minimal level through 2030, by avoiding any fossil fuel combustion equipment in our offices and refraining from building a fossil fuel vehicle fleet across the Group.
Axis 2 - Scope 2: Renewable electricity across all offices
WeWork supplies renewable electricity across its building portfolio, as confirmed by the renewable electricity certification of our office locations. Akur8 has committed to consolidating all its office locations within WeWork spaces by January 2027. As WeWork buildings are systematically supplied with renewable electricity, this transition will enable Akur8 to achieve 100% renewable electricity coverage across all Group offices by January 2027, without any additional procurement of Guarantees of Origin or Renewable Energy Certificates. Our Montreal (Sainte-Catherine) and Terminus offices already carry renewable electricity certification, confirming this approach is already in place for a significant share of our footprint.
Axis 3 - Scope 3: Reducing our carbon intensity per million euros of revenue
Scope 3 represents 95% of Akur8's total emissions, at 57 tCO2e/M€ of revenue in 2025 (-18% vs 2024). Akur8 is working towards reducing its Scope 3 GHG emissions intensity per million euros of revenue by 25% by 2030, from a 2025 baseline of 57 tCO2e/M€ to a target of 43 tCO2e/M€. As a fast-growing company, we have adopted an intensity-based target, measured per million euros of revenue, which reflects our actual performance more accurately than an absolute figure during a period of rapid growth, and directly connects our environmental performance to our business growth.
How we get there
On digital - Digital infrastructure is now our largest emission source. We monitor the carbon footprint of our cloud infrastructure (AWS, Microsoft Azure) and engage our providers to increase their use of renewable energy. We also work to optimise the algorithmic efficiency of our platform.
On travel - We encourage rail over air for all journeys under four hours and promote virtual meetings as a default. Business travel is tracked and reported annually.
On procurement - We integrate environmental criteria into supplier selection and prefer partners with documented climate commitments. Our Responsible Purchasing Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct are available on our website.
On reporting - We publish our GHG results annually and communicate them to all employees. Our methodology and results are available upon request.
Our commitment to science-based targets
Akur8 intends to submit its commitment letter to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2026 and to seek formal validation of its near-term targets in line with a 1.5°C pathway. The SBTi is an independent body that validates corporate GHG reduction targets against the scientific requirements of the Paris Agreement.
