Aon has launched TPI Portfolio, an enhancement to its existing Transition Performance Index, designed to help insurers assess their risk appetite and make underwriting decisions.
Aon’s TPI helps hard-to-abate sectors benchmark and track progress in their transition. The newly released tool provides standardised, portfolio-wide insights across the insurance value chain as part of Aon’s 3×3 Plan and Risk Capital Strategy.
The platform combines public and proprietary data to help insurers understand where clients stand and how they’re progressing across three key dimensions: compliance, risk management and growth. This applies particularly to sectors undergoing complex transitions in the evolving energy landscape.
“Insurers are under increasing pressure to understand and report on transition risk for their clients, but the data is often fragmented and difficult to interpret,” said Liz Henderson, Head of Climate Risk Advisory at Aon.
According to the insurer, the global energy system is shifting as climate reporting rules, geopolitical factors, and economic pressures drive a move toward cleaner and more resilient models. Insurers support this transition by assessing and transferring risk, helping scale emerging technologies such as hydrogen, battery storage, and carbon capture.
The TPI Portfolio addresses barriers, including inconsistent or sparsely available data, a lack of resources, and the complexity of integrating insights into decision-making. The tool enables insurers to identify emerging risk patterns and customer needs for product development.
“Those taking early steps toward technologies and sectors that support the net-zero transition are positioned to lead,” said Wouter Bosschaart, Global Energy Transition and Climate Lead at Aon.
The new tool forms part of Aon’s Low-Carbon Transition Framework, a seven-step guide designed to help insurers navigate their sustainability journey. This follows the company’s September launch of its enhanced Event Analytics platform for catastrophe response, which similarly addresses fragmented data challenges faced by insurers.
