Chaucer Insurance is a London-based international specialty insurance and reinsurance group, now part of the China Re Group, with a global presence and a history stretching over 100 years. Campaigners have labelled Chaucer an “ultimate laggard” among its peers, citing a notable absence of any fossil fuel expansion policies. Chaucer has been singled out for failing to explicitly rule out underwriting controversial projects, including new coal mines, such as the Adani Carmichael, and significant oil and gas pipelines like Trans Mountain and EACOP.
