Arbol is a global climate risk coverage platform and FinTech company offering full-service solutions for any business looking to analyze and mitigate exposure to climate risk. Arbol’s products offer parametric coverage which pays out based on objective data triggers rather than subjective assessment of loss. Arbol’s key differentiator versus traditional InsurTech or climate analytics platforms is the complete ecosystem it has built to address climate risk. This ecosystem includes a massive climate data infrastructure, scalable product development, automated, instant pricing using an artificial intelligence underwriter, blockchain-powered operational efficiencies, and non-traditional risk capacity bringing capital from non-insurance sources. By combining all these factors, Arbol brings scale, transparency, and efficiency to parametric coverage.

We bring efficiency, transparency, and scale to climate risk management using data, blockchain and an AI-powered pricing platform.

It starts with data. Ours comes from dClimate

We settle contracts leveraging climate data and models from dClimate, a leading decentralized climate information ecosystem.

We spun out dClimate in early 2021 as a standalone, open-source network that anyone in the world can use to get or share essential information about our planet. The dClimate ecosystem provides data, forecasts, and models on important variables like rainfall, temperature, soil moisture, carbon sequestration, and much more.

We leverage dClimate to retrieve industry-leading, institutional-grade climate data and models sourced from both public and government sources like NOAA, NASA, and the European Space Agency (ESA) as well as industry-leading commercial and private sources for underwriting our parametric coverage products. Everything we do at Arbol is data-driven, which helps us bring scale, transparency, and efficiency to the insurance process while eliminating the usual routine of dealing with mountains of claims paperwork, adjusters, and needless hassles to get paid.

Our risk capacity enables us to write tailored, untraditional solutions that other companies shy away from.

This allows us the agility and speed to rapidly deploy market-leading priced risk solutions for a multitude of products and customizations without having to rely on reinsurers.

We're a global collective of thinkers

Arbol provides clients access to financial climate resilience regardless of their size or location. We were founded in 2018 to combine vast data networks with cutting-edge technologies and risk capital to change the way that climate risk is actively managed throughout our entire financial system. Increasingly frequent and extreme climate events such as hurricanes, droughts, floods, and heatwaves are causing hundreds of billions of dollars in losses annually for businesses and communities.

Only a fraction of these losses are covered by insurance due to antiquated and inefficient processes. As stakeholders around the world begin to think proactively about how to address climate risk across balance sheets and supply chains, our end-to-end risk management ecosystem bringing data, financial products, and risk capital provides solutions for climate challenges across the financial system.

We embrace our unique identities and provide equitable opportunity and rewards for all employees. Inclusive Diversity & Equity is woven into our business and culture.

Integrity

We revere honesty and adhere to high ethical standards to gain the trust and confidence of our customers. We value transparency, encourage disclosing bad news, and welcome disagreement.

Collaboration

We are better together. Collaborating early and often helps us develop the best solutions and leverage employees' collective expertise. We evaluate every option so we can choose the best path forward.

Innovation

We are better together. We leverage our unique strengths and work side-by-side with our customers.
