F&P Expands Strategic Partnership with Solera with Sustainable Estimatics

LONDON, Oct. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solera, the global leader in vehicle lifecycle management, today announces that F&P, the Danish trade association for insurance companies and pension funds, has extended its strategic partnership with Solera by integrating its Sustainable Estimatics tool into the Autotaks platform.

With over 700,000 insurance claims every year in Denmark running through F&Ps proprietary claims management platform, Autotaks, the integration of Solera’s Sustainable Estimatics API will allow every insurer in the country to track and offset the carbon emissions created through different processes in a vehicle’s life span - including Scope 3. This move sets a new standard in the country and the World, covering 100% of auto claims and aligning with Denmark's leading commitment to sustainability goals to be carbon neutral by 2050.

Due to the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), many countries will require businesses to track and report their emissions by 2025. Sustainable Estimatics is the only auto insurance specific solution to make it possible to analyze Scope 1, 2, and 3 CO2 emissions, allowing organisations to both understand and present credible and verified carbon emission figures. Insurers will also be able to review dashboards to analyse their overall collision repair footprint and benchmark against country specific, and industry-wide data.

“We are pleased to extend our partnership with Solera, integrating its industry-first solution into our Autotaks platform” said Peder Herbo, director of Autotaks at F&P. “Solera’s solution is ISO-14064-01 accredited, so not only does it provide the wealth of data offered by Solera, but we know its data has been verified as trusted to provide the accuracy we need. It will enable us to set a new standard for measuring the CO2 emissions of auto insurance claims across the entire country, supporting the industry in reducing its carbon footprint and improving efficiency.”

One of the standout features of Solera’s solution is its approved use of data from OEMs to accurately assess vehicle damage after an incident. Through the Autotaks platform, it can now identify the affected parts and adjust it to fit all Danish requirements, such as repricing, giving insurers in the country the greatest increased accuracy. This process ensures a smooth and efficient workflow between insurers, body shops, and end-customers.

Franck Carpentier, International Channel Sales & Operations Director at Solera, stated,

"We’re proud to extend our partnership with F&P, a market leader that shares our commitment to shaping a more sustainable automotive industry. Denmark is already at the forefront of countries leading the charge on measuring and reducing carbon emissions, and understanding its role in the claims process will be critical to this. This will not only positively impact the environment, but also help insurers improve efficiency across the entire claims process.

Through this strategic partnership, Solera will further extend the measurement of all CO2 emissions emitted as the result of a repair. This will enrich its global data lake data from Denmark and enhance its unique position to provide the most accurate view of CO2 emissions connected to vehicle repair. We look forward to integrating this technology into even more businesses in future.”
