Climate Care is delighted to announce the launch of Climatesure, the world's first insurance with carbon offsets built in.
Climatesure customers will not only insure their cars and travel arrangements, but simultaneously offset the greenhouse gases created by them. It's the first insurance product that protects people, their property and the planet.
The good news for consumers is that Climatesure won't cost them any more, because the insurance industry views green customers as a better risk and so can offer better deals on policies. This allows Climatesure and its partners, including AXA, Groupama and Norwich Union, to fund the offsets on the consumer's behalf.
Phil Denman of Climatesure said:
'We know people want to be more environmentally responsible but they're tired of paying over the odds for doing the right thing. Insurance is one area where being responsible is rewarded by lower prices so we're delighted that Climatesure will make tackling climate change a simple and cost-effective part of everyday life.'
Climatesure works by combining the right high-quality insurance policy for the customer, chosen from a panel of over 20 of the UK's leading insurers, with a carbon offset priced on the individual's carbon output, as estimated by Climate Care. Monies generated from Climatesure customers' offsets will go directly towards funding Climate Care's carbon-reducing projects.
Eco-entrepreneur and founder of Climate Care, Mike Mason, came up with the idea of linking offsets to insurance. Mason comments:
'Taking responsibility for our own carbon pollution should be as normal as buying our car or travel insurance, and with Climatesure it is. We hope that Climatesure will lead the way in climate friendly products, making it simple for everyone to tackle their affect on climate change.'
