Since several of the\ncompany’s business lines involve analysis of the effects of climate change, Verisk is highly attuned to the urgency of this challenge and\nhas a strong commitment to environmentally responsible business practices. In 2017, Verisk approached 3Degrees to help it develop and execute a plan to address\nits global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through investments in energy attribute certificates and carbon offsets.\nCHALLENGES\nThough the company is headquartered in New Jersey, Verisk’s energy load is heavily decentralized among offices in approximately 20 countries.
