Aon (London, UK)—Aon Risk Services recently initiated QUEST, “…a product developed to assist firms prepare for the launch of the [UK] government’s Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) scheme next year.”
QUEST stands for:
QU: Qualify and understand whether or not an organisation is impacted by the scheme.
E: Evidence an organisation’s carbon emissions and forecast for future usage.
S: Implement a strategy for managing and reducing a company’s carbon footprint.
T: Implement a carbon trading strategy to capitalise and potentially profit from any reductions in carbon usage.
Aon also created a personal indemnity insurance to accompany the program in case of errors in carbon estimates and reductions since large companies could potentially be prosecuted for not complying with the new UK scheme
