As a non-life insurance company, Tryg has no critical raw materials or rare earths according to the European Critical Raw Materials Act definition.
Resource Inflows Table
| ESRS Disclosure Point | Description | Unit | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| E5-4_02 | Overall total weight of products and technical and biological materials used during the reporting period | Tonnes | 5,759 |
| E5-4_04 | The absolute weight of secondary reused or recycled components, secondary intermediary products and secondary materials used to manufacture the undertaking's products and services (including packaging) | Tonnes | 457 |
Percentage of Secondary Materials
Based on the reported figures:
- Secondary/recycled materials: 457 tonnes out of 5,759 tonnes total = 7.9% of total resource inflows
- Primary/new materials: 5,302 tonnes = 92.1% of total resource inflows
Scope and Data Collection
In 2024, Tryg introduced reporting on resource inflows from motor claims, where data is available. Figures for resource inflow from building claims will be included as of 2025.
Data is collected based on different systems in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. All systems collect information on the use of spare parts (in tonnes), and a suitable weight factor is derived from the system named Märkesdemo.
Identifying and reporting on reused spare parts are based on the same method as the reporting of new spare parts, but using categories regarding reuse and recycle.
Context
Tryg's resource inflows are limited to the claims handling process. The company has set a strategic target to reduce the use of new materials per claim by 10% by 2027 (baseline 2024), focusing on increased use of circular materials or repair techniques and minimisation of primary raw material use.
E5-5Resource outflowsReported
Resource outflows
Tryg reports on resource outflows in the context of its own operations and claims handling processes.
Products and Services (Insurance)
As an insurance company, Tryg does not manufacture physical products. However, through its claims handling process and supplier management, Tryg influences resource circularity:
- Repair and reuse initiatives: Tryg has implemented initiatives across motor, building, and content claims focusing on repairs and use of recycled/reused materials rather than replacement with new items.
- Avoided emissions from sustainable claims handling: In 2024, Tryg avoided 27,825 tonnes CO2e through repair, reuse, and recycled materials in claims handling.
- Sustainable spend: 47% of claims spend in 2024 was classified as sustainable (repairs, reused materials, emission-saving initiatives).
2027 Target
Tryg has set a target to reduce the use of new materials per average claim by 10% by 2027 (baseline 2024). This intensity target aims to increase use of circular materials and repair techniques while minimizing primary raw material use.
Specific Initiatives
Motor claims: Established practices for repairing windshields, car bumpers, rims, car body parts, and headlights. Auto repair shops increasingly use recycled spare parts. In Norway, partnership with car repair chains enables use of reused parts (doors, bumpers) even on cars less than 5 years old.
Building claims: Initiatives include repairs of doors and windows, spot repairs of parquet floors, preservation of foundation walls and building materials (concrete, tiles), and reuse of tiles.
Other: Repairs of phone screens, reduced transport needs through remote monitoring and online consultations.
Tryg published a catalogue 'Handled with care' describing specific repair/reuse initiatives for suppliers.
E5-5WasteReported
Waste
Waste Management Approach
Tryg manages internal waste in accordance with the EU waste hierarchy: preparing for reuse, recycling, other utilization, and disposal.
Reuse practices: Tryg donates or resells excess office furniture (desks, cabinets, bookcases) to charity organizations or at auctions.
Waste sorting equipment: New waste handling equipment installed at all Danish locations enables better sorting into fragments and ensures reusable materials are reused.
