The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.

We embrace our responsibility to operate sustainably.
We strive to minimize our environmental impact, operate and invest ethically, and govern our business with integrity and social responsibility. At RGA, we view sustainability to be central to our success and core to our business model. RGA exists to help make financial protection accessible to all, and our products are effective precisely because they are inclusive.
Climate Change Governance and Policy
Addressing climate change is central to 鶹ƵAPP purpose: to protect people. As a member of the Geneva Association Task Force on Climate Change Risk Assessment, RGA is dedicated to uniting the insurance industry in action.
RGA will reduce emissions from our Scope 1 and Scope 2 activities to net zero by the end of 2026. Our headquarters and largest operating facility, based in Chesterfield, Missouri, was constructed in line with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold requirements. To qualify, the state-of-the-art building achieves high energy and environmental efficiencies.
Through rigorous research, analysis, and ongoing monitoring, we aim to identify and invest in companies that are committed to reducing their carbon footprints, providing solutions to reduce carbon emissions, or adding to the health and financial security of communities.
The S&J Taylor Forest Carbon Project balances conservation of nearly 18,000 forested acres of Saline River bottoms riparian hardwoods and “working” pines in south-central Arkansas. Diverse oak, gum, cypress, hickory, and pine forests located within the Gulf Coastal Plain eco-region represent important habitat and provide essential buffers that abate sedimentation and nutrient runoff between development and waterways.
Global Emissionairy works to reduce the carbon footprint of the paving industry through a cradle-to-installation roadway reconstruction life cycle that significantly reduces energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions, preserves natural resources, and reduces waste and related landfill disposal.
The Heartland Methane Abatement and Land Restoration project addresses the urgent need for methane mitigation in Oklahoma, where over 17,000 orphaned oil and gas wells pose ongoing environmental risks. Led by Rebellion Energy, this initiative permanently plugged six orphaned wells in Washington County, preventing further methane emissions and restoring the surrounding land. By eliminating methane leaks from inactive infrastructure, the project contributes to climate action and supports local ecosystems. It aligns with multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Leading with Innovation in Landfill Gas Management
The IESI–Trinity Timber Ridge Landfill Carbon Project showcases innovation in landfill gas management. IESI MO Landfill Corporation voluntarily installed a surficial gas collection and destruction system that captures all surface emissions beneath the synthetic liner, surpassing traditional systems in environmental performance. This proactive approach, not driven by regulation, demonstrates leadership in climate responsibility.
