Responsibilities for climate-related issues
Board-level
committee
The Nominating, Governance and Social Responsibility Committee (NG&SRC) is a Board committee that oversees, among other things, Allstate’s significant environmental, social, and governance
priorities and reporting, including Allstate’s Sustainability Report, which contains Allstate’s greenhouse gas and other climate-related risk information. The NG&SRC consists of four directors on the
Board, and the CEO and Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel participate in meetings. In 2022, the NG&SRC reviewed sustainability matters over multiple meetings, including two joint sessions
with the Board.
Board-level
committee
The Board's Risk and Return Committee (RRC) oversees the effectiveness of Allstate’s Enterprise Risk and Return Management (ERRM) framework, governance structure, and decision-making.
Material risks, including climate-related risks, are regularly assessed and reported to senior management and the Board.
The RRC assists the Board with this responsibility and reviews a quarterly risk dashboard that identifies key risks and provides an overall perspective of Allstate’s risk profile. Material risks are reviewed
at least five times annually. The RRC oversees Allstate’s aggregate risk profile. This includes the identification, measurement, and management of climate-related risks and the assessment of
extremely low frequency scenarios, including weather-related scenarios. For example, the RRC was briefed on the wildfires in California to better understand our risks and impacts.
The RRC is also briefed on other severe weather events such as hurricanes. The RRC members participate in other Board committees to ensure transparency and alignment in managing risks
throughout the organization. Example of a climate-related decision made: Each year, reinsurance coverage is purchased based on in-depth analysis of Allstate’s exposure to catastrophe risk, including
hurricanes, earthquakes and fires following earthquakes, wildfires, and other catastrophes.
Reinsurance is analyzed as a special topic as part of Allstate’s broader insurance and climate-related analysis. The Chief Risk Officer presents the analysis of reinsurance strategy and implementation
for RRC transparency and alignment.
Chief Risk
Officer
(CRO)
The RRC consists of five directors on the Board. The Chief Risk Officer (CRO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel, Chief
Technology Officer, Chief Information Security Officer, and Chief Audit Executive participate in meetings. The CRO attends all meetings of the RRC and has regular executive sessions with the
committee. The CRO attends these meetings because he is ultimately responsible for design and execution of Allstate’s risk management program, including management of climate-related risks.
The CRO is regularly updated on the impacts of significant climate related events, such as the wildfires in California and large-scale hurricanes. The CRO and RRC review a risk control dashboard on
a quarterly basis, which incorporates climate-related risks. The CRO also attends other Board committee meetings and reports regularly to the full Board and senior management throughout the
organization to ensure alignment on risk-related issues, including climate change. The Board regularly hears from the CRO about climate change risks and reviewed climate risk at two meetings in
2022.

The RRC oversees the effectiveness of Allstate’s ERRM framework, governance structure and decision-making. It
reviews enterprise risks at least five times annually, which includes climate-related risks on an as-needed basis.
The governance mechanisms for the RRC include:
1) Review of an ERRM Summary Report that identifies key risks and provides an overall perspective of Allstate’s
risk profile;
2) Review of Allstate’s risk and return position, capital levels, and strategic/operating plans;
3) Review of extremely low frequency scenarios (“ELFs”);
4) Review of strategic risks that are assessed in-depth as part of strategic planning processes, with climate change
and severe weather being key risks that are evaluated;
5) Review of the regulatory Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (“ORSA”) report;
6) Review of risk factors included in Form 10-K, including risks related to climate change and severe weather;
7) Inclusion of the Audit Committee Chair as an RRC member to enhance cross-committee communication;
8) Attendance of the CRO at all meetings, including regular executive sessions with committee members.
In FY22 the Board and RRC continued to oversee efforts to assess and mitigate climate-related risks. The total
impact of severe weather events, such as the California wildfires, indicated that Allstate’s catastrophe response
and risk management programs are operating effectively.

Further details of incentive(s)
Allstate’s overall executive compensation program is designed to deliver compensation in accordance with performance and not reward excessive risk-taking. It includes
both short-term and long-term incentive components. A significant percentage of executive total direct compensation is “pay at risk” through long-term stock options and
equity grant awards linked to actual company performance. This encourages a long-term perspective on risk and return.
Explain how this incentive contributes to the implementation of your organization’s climate commitments and/or climate transition plan
Monetary incentives for achieving corporate and performance goals include risk and return management of all risks, including those affected by climate, with the impact of
weather-related losses incorporated into incentive payouts. Risk and return management includes efforts to mitigate climate-related risk through advocacy for strong
building codes, customer education, and product pricing structures to promote property upkeep and maintenance and reduce the potential impact of weather-related loss
events due to climate change. Management of risk and return also ensures that pricing is aligned with the full exposure of the risk, including weather-related perils.

Further details of incentive(s)
As a member of the corporate executive team and the ESG Steering Committee, Allstate’s Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) incorporates sustainability initiatives into
Allstate’s procurement practices. The CPO implemented a sustainability program as part of Sourcing & Procurement Solutions to assess the environmental risks and
opportunities within Allstate’s supply chain and procurement operations enterprise-wide, including the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Allstate expects its
most critical suppliers to disclose carbon levels and their plans for reductions annually. The progress of the sustainability program is measured by Allstate’s increased
engagement with suppliers on climate-related issues, increased value chain visibility and company performance against a climate-related sustainability index. The
performance of this sustainability program is one component of the incentives for the CPO and program development team.
Explain how this incentive contributes to the implementation of your organization’s climate commitments and/or climate transition plan
In December 2022, Allstate announced a commitment to achieve net zero emissions for direct, indirect and value-chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030, ahead
of the Paris Agreement timeline. One key component of how Allstate will accomplish its 2030 net zero goal is by working to reduce emissions of its third-party suppliers.
Allstate’s progress towards the net zero goal will be reflected in a 2023 enterprise goal to include sustainability language in 100 supplier agreements, representing a range
of externally purchased goods and services categories. Climate expectations are also reflected in Allstate’s Supplier Code of Business Conduct.

C2.1b
(C2.1b) How does your organization define substantive financial or strategic impact on your business?
Allstate considers the totality of various factors, instead of applying a one-size-fits-all definition of substantive impact.
Definition of substantive financial or strategic impact: In defining substantive financial or strategic impact to the company, Allstate considers multiple factors such as the
pace of change, likelihood, potential impact, and ability to achieve strategic goals. Allstate’s holistic risk analysis incorporates financial, customer, employee, agent,
reputation, regulatory/legal and technology impacts that are sized for the enterprise as well as individual business units.
Quantifiable Indicator: Risks that are deemed substantive, leveraging our enterprise risk scale and the following definition of an elevated risk: Increased potential for loss
due to considerable knowledge gaps, inadequate mitigation strategies, and/or elevated uncertainty about underlying risk dynamics pointing to a loss that may exceed the
respective risk tolerance. Risk requires plan for improvement and continuous monitoring. Non-quantifiable risks are also taken into account during substantive impact
evaluation.
Substantive financial or strategic impacts on Allstate’s business for the purposes of assessing climate-related risks are identified by assessing alignment with enterprise risk
and return principles. We take risk prudently and purposefully, without jeopardizing Allstate’s financial and franchise foundation. Allstate’s activities and risks are managed in a
manner that:
Maintains capital above a regulatory minimum threshold after a stress event (quantifiable indicators include deployable capital, Debt-to-Capital Ratio, fixed coverage ratio
and Risk Based Capital ratio)
Maintains liquidity that will allow the company to meet capital needs and customer obligations (quantifiable measures are applied on a monthly and quarterly basis)
Maintains an investment-grade senior debt rating (agencies include A.M Best, Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s)
Allows Allstate to meet planned dividend commitments
Enables Allstate to maintain its reputation as a top tier institution operating with the utmost integrity (Allstate uses a scorecard to measure reputational trends across
different segments such as customers, employees, consumers, and agents/financial specialists)

Description of process
Allstate manages climate change risk as part of the Enterprise Risk and Return Management (ERRM) program, which the Board oversees through its Risk and Return
Committee (RRC). Enterprise risks and opportunities are identified, prioritized, measured, managed, monitored, and reported under an integrated ERRM framework, which
incorporates the company’s risk appetite statement, risk and return principles, key risk areas, governance, modelling, analytics, and transparent management dialogue.
Risk identification and assessment: ERRM facilitates a risk identification process that identifies the top risks with a potentially substantive financial or strategic impact on the
organization. Risks and opportunities are evaluated in six key areas: insurance, investment, financial, operational, strategic execution, and culture. The process evaluates
risks by assessing the likelihood of occurrence and the potential impact in the context of the time horizon for achieving Allstate’s objectives both at the enterprise level and
within business units. This evaluation may take into consideration a variety of factors with respect to any particular risk, including its susceptibility to quantitative analysis, its
speed of emergence, and Allstate’s level of preparedness. Climate-related risks are assessed across several dimensions:
1) Strategic and Operating Plans: ERRM completes annual risk and return assessments for both the operating (annual) plan and the strategic (3-year) plans, focused on
alignment to risk and return principles. Plan assessments evaluate internal and external risk drivers, underlying assumptions, quantitative measures, and execution risk.
2) Modeling: The Catastrophe Modeling and Analytics Team and Pricing Groups monitor climate change information as part of their analysis of weather-related trends.
Models developed internally and by third-party vendors are used along with Allstate’s own historical data in assessing property insurance exposure to catastrophe losses.
Losses and changes in exposure are analyzed and reported to senior leaders biannually, with additional monitoring provided as needed. Pricing is aligned with the full
exposure of the risk, including weather-related perils.
3) Management and Board Reporting: Key risks are assessed and reported at least quarterly via ERRM’s comprehensive Summary Report, prepared for senior
management and the Board’s RRC.
Oversight and decision-making structure: The Audit Committee has responsibility for risks discussed by the Board’s RRC for consideration in its control environment. The
Board’s RRC is responsible for the evaluation of the ERRM function. In addition to the Board’s RRC, an executive management-level committee and business unit chief risk
officers (CROs) are responsible for program oversight. The Enterprise Risk & Return Council (ERRC) is the senior risk management committee that establishes risk-return
targets, determines capital levels, and directs integrated strategies and actions. The ESG Steering Committee (formerly the Sustainability Council) further promotes climate
change accountability. Committee members, consisting of senior leadership from across the organization, utilize their unique perspectives and knowledge of the company’s
operations and customers to identify key risks and opportunities related to sustainable business practices. The ESG Steering Committee meets monthly to review existing
and emerging environmental and social issues, identify opportunities and strategies to address these issues, and encourage and enable employee engagement with the
company’s sustainability strategy.
C2.2a
CDP Page of 737
(C2.2a) Which risk types are considered in your organization's climate-related risk assessments?
Relevance
&
inclusion
Please explain
Current
regulation
Relevant,
always
included
As an insurance company, Allstate is subject to extensive regulation and involved in various legal and regulatory actions, all of which affect specific aspects of the company’s business.
Allstate proactively monitors regulatory proposals that will have an impact on its business. Current regulations are included in Allstate’s risk assessment and risk management processes to
ensure that any risks are managed properly, including those that are climate related. Additional governance is provided through Allstate’s compliance processes and “three lines of
defense” risk model. For example, although Allstate is not currently subject to climate-related regulations for managing greenhouse gas emissions, it is possible that other types of
regulations may indirectly affect the company’s ability to manage climate-related risks to its business. In various states, Allstate is required to participate in assigned risk plans, reinsurance
facilities, and joint underwriting associations that provide insurance coverage to individuals or entities that otherwise are unable to purchase such coverage from private insurers. Over time,
Allstate consistently manages and monitors its aggregate insurance exposure to catastrophe losses in certain regions of the country that are subject to high levels of natural catastrophes.
However, the impact of these actions may be diminished by the growth in insured values and the effect of state insurance laws and regulations. Changes to current regulations, either
directly or indirectly climate-related, could result in higher operating costs and expenses for Allstate.
Emerging
regulation
Relevant,
always
included
Allstate is subject to extensive regulation and involved in various legal and regulatory actions, all of which affect specific aspects of the company’s business. Allstate proactively monitors
regulatory proposals that will have an impact on its business. Emerging regulations are included in Allstate’s risk assessment and risk management process to ensure that any risks are
managed properly, including anything climate-related. Additional governance is provided through Allstate’s compliance processes and independent oversight. For example, emerging
regulations may affect the company’s ability to manage climate-related risks to its business. In various states, Allstate is required to participate in assigned risk plans, reinsurance facilities
and joint underwriting associations that provide insurance coverage to individuals or entities that otherwise are unable to purchase such coverage from private insurers. Over time, Allstate
consistently monitors and manages its aggregate insurance exposure to catastrophe losses in certain regions of the country that are subject to high levels of natural catastrophes. However,
the impact of these actions may be diminished by the growth in insured values and the effect of state insurance laws and regulations. Emerging regulations, either directly or indirectly
climate-related, could result in higher operating costs and expenses for Allstate. Regulations focused on energy efficiency or carbon reduction could require changes to Allstate’s
operations and infrastructure.
Technology Relevant,
always
included
Technological innovations that improve energy efficiency in buildings are of great value to Allstate’s operations and are considered in its risk assessment process when evaluating these
types of capital expenditures. Return on investment is examined, and depending on the total costs involved, projects are reviewed at the appropriate level of approval within Allstate’s
organizational structure. Another example of a climate-related technological risk to Allstate is the processing of claims during hurricanes or severe weather events. In order to handle claims
on-site, Allstate needs reliable, secure, and effective technology for all communications and data processing. Vulnerabilities such as connectivity issues, security breaches, and insufficient
access to electricity must be mitigated, and these risks are included in Allstate’s risk assessment processes to ensure proper business continuity.
Legal Relevant,
always
included
Legal risks are included in the six categories of risks regularly assessed by Allstate. Losses from legal and regulatory actions may be material to Allstate’s operational results, cash flows,
and financial condition. Allstate is involved in various legal actions, including class-action litigation challenging a range of company practices and coverage provided by its insurance
products, some of which involve claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts. Allstate is also involved in various regulatory actions and inquiries, including market conduct exams by
state insurance regulatory agencies. In the event of an unfavorable outcome in any of these matters, the ultimate liability may be in excess of amounts currently accrued, if any, and may
be material to Allstate’s operational results, cash flows, and financial condition. One example of a climate-related legal risk to Allstate involves new notification of policy coverage in the
state of California for losses due to flood, mudslides, and earth movement related to recent wildfires. The California Department of Insurance has determined that while flood, mudslides,
and earth movement are excluded causes of loss in standard policy language, they must be covered if the proximate cause of loss was triggered by a wildfire. To eliminate disputes
regarding what is/isn’t covered, Allstate may choose to pay claims that have not been considered in the pricing and underwriting strategies for these property policies to avoid potential
legal action.
Market Relevant,
always
included
Allstate considers market risk (the risk of loss from adverse changes in the value of the investment portfolio) in its assessment of climate risks. Investment portfolio management factors in
climate risk when considering specific investments, and from a portfolio perspective, Allstate aggregates and measures its sector exposures to more carbon-intensive industries,
considering their market risk profile and contributions to the portfolio. To further enhance Allstate’s identification and measurement of climate risks in the investment portfolio, the company
is working with a consultant to establish a financed emissions inventory and is evaluating evolving methodologies and approaches to explicitly measure the potential impact of climate
change on the market value of its investments. Allstate wants to help the world transition to a lower-carbon emissions footprint by considering investments in companies that will provide
capital for their transition. These investments also provide opportunities for value creation within the investment portfolio and improve returns to shareholders.
Reputation Relevant,
always
included
Allstate’s Strategic Risk Management process addresses loss associated with inadequate or flawed business planning or strategy setting. This includes reputational risk, which is the
potential for negative publicity regarding Allstate’s conduct or business practices to adversely impact profitability, operations, or the consumer base, or to require costly litigation and other
defensive measures. Climate-related reputational risks are incorporated in this process. Allstate proactively monitors its sustainability efforts through collaborative efforts across the
organization. The Sustainability Report is published annually, providing evidence of Allstate’s efforts and commitments. Further, ongoing support is provided by senior management through
various governance processes, including the Enterprise Risk and Return Council. Additionally, Allstate manages climate-related reputational risk through Allstate Board and senior
management strategy reviews that include a risk and return assessment of the company's strategic plans and ongoing monitoring of its strategic actions and the external competitive
environment. As a property-casualty insurance company, Allstate’s ability to pay claims in a timely fashion following outbreaks of severe weather and catastrophes is critical in managing
climate-related reputational risk. Allstate seeks to maintain an understanding of climate risks that directly affect both its liability insurance products and its assets, and the company acts to
modify those products and protect those assets accordingly to protect its shareholders, customers, and reputation. In doing so, Allstate enhances its reputation and wins support from
consumers, which can lead to increased willingness to buy a policy and recommend Allstate to other potential customers.
Acute
physical
Relevant,
always
included
The increased impacts of weather events and natural catastrophes affect the cost and number of claims submitted by Allstate’s customers. Associated rate increases can also impact the
Allstate customer experience and the company’s reputation. Allstate’s success depends, in part, on its ability to properly model, price, and manage climate-related risks, as well as to
develop products and services that address climate concerns. For example, there is generally an increase in the frequency and severity of auto and property claims when severe weather
conditions occur. Areas of heightened potential catastrophe losses due to hurricanes include major metropolitan centers in counties along the Eastern and Gulf coasts of the United States.
Additionally, wildfires and severe weather pose significant catastrophe risks to the company. Financial risks related to hurricanes, wildfires, and severe weather are included in Allstate’s
climate risk assessments. In addition, catastrophe teams model hurricanes and tropical storms, wildfires, and severe weather such as tornadoes and hail. Allstate monitors experience
closely to ensure trends are reflected in its pricing, thus mitigating its exposure and aligning pricing with exposure. On the Investments side, Allstate also models and measures potential
impacts on real estate and natural capital investments, as well as limits concentrations in catastrophe-prone areas.
Chronic
physical
Relevant,
always
included
In addition to exacerbating the impacts of natural catastrophes, climate change will likely also drive chronic impacts such as sea level rise. Chronic climate-related physical impacts are
regularly included in Allstate’s risk assessment process, to ensure the company is properly mitigating the potential risks. The increased risks in coastal regions due to sea level rise affect
the cost and number of claims submitted by Allstate customers. Associated rate increases can also impact the Allstate customer experience and the company’s reputation. Allstate’s
success depends, in part, on its ability to properly model, price and manage climate-related risks, as well as develop products and services to address the chronic physical impacts of
climate change. For example, in order to mitigate potential losses in areas subject to sea level rise, Allstate has been selective with personal homeowners' insurance new business
underwriting in certain coastal areas and utilizes deductibles or exclusions where appropriate. Allstate monitors experience closely to ensure trends are reflected in its pricing, thus
mitigating its exposure and aligning pricing with risk.

Investment portfolio management factors in climate risk when considering specific investments, and from a portfolio
perspective, Allstate aggregates and measures its sector exposures to more carbon-intensive industries, considering their
market, liquidity, and credit risk profiles and contributions to the portfolio. To further enhance Allstate’s identification and
measurement of climate risks in the investment portfolio, the company:
1) has expanded its external data sources,
2) worked with an external consultant and is continuing to establish a scope 3 financed emissions inventory, and
3) is evaluating evolving methodologies and approaches (including third party models) to explicitly measure the potential
impact of climate change on the market value of its investments.
To measure physical risks, Allstate performs catastrophe risk modeling using third party risk models on its owned commercial
real estate portfolio on at least an annual basis.

Allstate works to understand climate risks that affect its insurance products and assets. Allstate’s Catastrophe Modeling and
Analytics Team and pricing groups monitor climate change information and update leadership regularly. Allstate manages
climate-related risks and opportunities within its Enterprise Risk and Return Management (ERRM) framework, which applies
risk-return principles, governance, modeling, and analytics, while maintaining the company’s strong foundation of financial
strength, building strategic value, and optimizing return. Climate-related risks are identified, measured, managed, monitored
and reported while focusing on insurability, underwriting and investments.
Allstate has been able to adapt to increased catastrophe risk through actions that include:
1) Purchasing multi-year reinsurance protection as well as aggregate coverage, giving Allstate protection in years with extreme
losses across multiple risk types;
2) Limiting new business for Allstate’s personal lines auto and property insurance in areas most exposed to hurricanes,
including coastal areas in Southern and Eastern states;
3) Implementing Tropical Cyclone and/or Wind/Hail deductibles or exclusions where appropriate;
4) Partnering with federal and state governments for over 25 years to create programs to help provide protection for insureds
most exposed to climate change through the establishment of entities like Florida Citizens, the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe
Fund, the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association, the California Earthquake Authority, as well as leading industry initiatives
through the founding of ProtectingAmerica.org;
5) Limiting coverage exposure for existing and new risks as hurricanes/tropical storms imminently approach landfall.
In this context ‘portfolio coverage’ is based on the total value of investments for which short- and long-term potential
exposures to environmental and climate-related risks are monitored.

Allstate classifies sectors based on exposure to environmental risks, including climate change, and analyzes environmental risks. The sizing and maturity profile of Allstate’s
positions is considered through its risk management process. Sectors with higher potential exposure are primarily invested in public markets, providing flexibility to adjust
exposures. Allstate classifies commercial real estate investments based on their modeled exposure to catastrophe risks and incorporates these risks in its underwriting and
insurance practices. Allstate continues to evolve its risk management processes regarding climate risk. The company incorporates tools for ESG and climate-related data
into certain processes and trains the Investments team on their use.
Examples of climate-related decisions: In 2021, Allstate began using ESG data feeds and analysis from expert research firms to assess its assets, exposures and ESG
risks. In 2022, the company finalized a commitment to set a goal for its financed emissions by the end of 2025. Allstate has been disclosing Scope 1 and 2 emissions for its
CDP submission since 2010. The company performs a Scope 3 review of financed emissions covering the investment portfolio subject to data availability and is enhancing
its baseline inventory while working towards setting a target year. Allstate plans to expand the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) report to reflect
the work done on measuring both operational emissions and financed emissions. Allstate is developing a financed emissions inventory that helps identify the impact of its
investment portfolio on climate change and facilitate emissions reductions. Allstate reports its largest emitters (where data is available) by company and sector to
committees and asset managers on a periodic basis. For the highest emitters, Allstate also tracks the companies' future net zero targets. Allstate continues to make
commitments to private companies that are committed to energy transition and sustainable investing.

Company-specific description
Allstate is subject to extensive regulation and is involved in various legal and regulatory actions, all of which have an effect on specific aspects of its business. Over time,
Allstate consistently monitors and manages its aggregate insurance exposure to catastrophe losses in certain regions of the country that are subject to high levels of natural
catastrophes. However, the impact of these actions may be diminished by the growth in insured values and the effect of state insurance laws and regulations. In addition, in
various states Allstate is required to participate in assigned risk plans, reinsurance facilities, and joint underwriting associations that provide insurance coverage to
individuals or entities that otherwise are unable to purchase such coverage from private insurers. Because of Allstate’s participation in these, and other state facilities such
as wind pools, it may be exposed to both losses that surpass the capitalization of these facilities and assessments from these facilities.
Most notably, the residual markets of the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA), North Carolina Joint Underwriting Association (NCJUA), and North Carolina
Insurance Underwriting Association (NCIUA) have the potential for significant member assessments to Allstate. The financial implications related to regulatory risks can
vary. Regulatory constraints often inform those areas where Allstate cannot earn appropriate returns or chooses to exclude wind on policies written. In such instances,
Allstate typically participates in residual market mechanisms.
It is estimated that Allstate has a 1% probability of exceeding $130M of loss on an annual aggregate basis, after the application of any applicable reinsurance from residual
market assessments. The risk of these assessments is mitigated by including them as defined subject loss within Allstate’s Nationwide Excess Catastrophe Reinsurance
Program. Additionally, potential regulatory changes could result in higher operating and underwriting expenses for Allstate.

Explanation of financial impact figure
The financial implications related to regulatory risks can vary. Regulatory constraints often inform those areas where Allstate cannot earn appropriate returns or chooses to
exclude wind on policies written. In such instances, Allstate typically participates in residual market mechanisms.
Breakdown of figure: The $130M loss figure was calculated based on an analysis of potential loss assessments from residual market mechanisms at a 1% probability of
exceedance on an annual aggregate basis, after the application of any applicable reinsurance. It was derived by considering member assessments for any given year,
leveraging output from the Verisk (formerly AIR Worldwide) hurricane model and sorting those years from largest to smallest. The 99th percentile loss year was then
selected. The assessments underlying these calculations occur when the residual market's capital and risk transfer program is not sufficient to cover member losses, or
when particular layers of the program are identified as member assessment layers. The $130M figure is largely driven by Allstate's participation in the Texas Windstorm
Insurance Association (TWIA), and the North Carolina Joint Underwriting Association (NCJUA) and Insurance Underwriting Association (NCIUA). Although Allstate is also
involved in other residual markets, the anticipated assessments for most of these mechanisms are recoupable.

1347857
Description of response and explanation of cost calculation
Situation: Regulatory constraints often inform those areas where Allstate is unable to earn appropriate returns or chooses to exclude wind on policies written. In such
instances, Allstate participates in residual market mechanisms.
Task: Understand the potential impact of residual market assessments.
Action: Allstate is at risk of at least a $130M residual market assessment/loss at a 1% likelihood for any given year.
Result: To mitigate the risk of potential non-recoupable assessments, Allstate includes non-recoupable assessments as covered subject loss within its Nationwide Excess
Catastrophe Reinsurance Program. The program is placed on an annual cadence, effective on June 1 of each year. Allstate continues to monitor the potential for future
residual market assessments based on both internal analysis and support from its reinsurance intermediary, Aon. The cost of Allstate's reinsurance programs was $788M in
2022, but it covers far more than just the potential for residual market assessments. Allstate monitors all significant enterprise risks, on a regular basis, using fluid risk
identification processes to reflect a continuously shifting external and internal risk environment. Property catastrophe exposure management includes purchasing
reinsurance to provide coverage for known exposure to hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, and other catastrophes. Allstate also promotes measures to prevent and mitigate
CDP Page of 7311
losses and make homes and communities more resilient, including enactment of stronger building codes and effective enforcement of those codes, adoption of sensible land
use policies, and development of effective and affordable methods of improving the resilience of existing structures. For example, Allstate is a member of the Insurance
Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), an organization that conducts objective, scientific research to identify and promote effective actions that strengthen homes,
businesses, and communities against natural disasters and other causes of loss. The relationship with IBHS is considered ongoing and Allstate intends to continue its
support as a contributing member via annual dues. This is an ongoing engagement to evaluate climate change as it relates to the company’s future risk exposure.
Breakdown of figure: Over the past five years, on an annual basis, Allstate spent an average of $1.35 million to support the efforts of IBHS through annual dues.

Company-specific description
Climate change, to the extent it produces changes in weather patterns, could affect the frequency or severity of weather events and wildfires as well as the demand, price,
and availability of homeowners insurance and the results for Allstate. As a property and casualty insurer, Allstate may face significant losses from catastrophes. The
increased frequency and severity of weather events and natural catastrophes affect the cost and number of claims submitted by Allstate customers.
Associated rate increases can also impact Allstate’s customers and reputation. Allstate’s success depends, in part, on its ability to properly model, price and manage
climate and weather-related risks, as well as develop products and services to address climate change. Areas of heightened potential catastrophe losses due to hurricanes
include major metropolitan centers in counties along the eastern and gulf coasts of the United States, such as the Northeast and Texas, where Allstate has a larger share of
the insurance market when compared to other states, thereby causing a concentration of risk in certain metro areas. Any growth in hurricane-exposed states are closely
monitored to ensure appropriate returns are earned on any new business written. Annual projection scenarios are conducted to assess future loss potential based on
anticipated changes in the underlying book of business and future risk transfer purchase. For Wildfire, California is the state of largest concern; however, Allstate does not
currently write new property business for owners and condo lines within that state as of November 2022.
Allstate's risk transfer program is placed each year to help support its stated corporate risk tolerance of having less than a 1% likelihood of exceeding annual aggregate
catastrophe losses of $2.5 billion net of reinsurance from hurricanes, wildfires, and earthquakes. Allstate therefore takes into consideration the concentrations of risk in
states such as Texas and New York. As of June 1, 2022, Allstate was covered on a first event Nationwide (ex-FL) basis for losses in excess of $6.6 billion after any
applicable retentions and co-participation. This tower is in addition to stand-alone towers for Florida, the National General Reciprocal companies, and National General
Lender Services. Allstate is also working to promote measures to prevent and mitigate losses and make homes and communities more resilient.

Explanation of financial impact figure
As of Dec. 31, 2022, Allstate has less than a 1% likelihood of exceeding annual aggregate catastrophe losses of $2.5 billion net of reinsurance from hurricanes, wildfires,
and earthquakes based on modelled assumptions and applications currently available. The use of different assumptions and updates to industry models, and updates to
Allstate’s risk transfer program, could materially change the projected loss. Allstate’s growth strategies include areas where it believes it can enhance diversification and
earn an appropriate return for the risk. In addition, Allstate has exposure to other severe weather events.
Breakdown of figure: Average calendar year losses, including claims adjustments expenses over the past 3 years (2022, 2021 and 2020), are $921 million
[($399M+$742M+$1,001M)/3]+[($52M+$269M+$300M)/3] for hurricane and wildfire, respectively. In addition, Allstate has exposure to other severe weather events. Allstate
defines severe weather losses from events including rain, wind/hail, and tornadoes as chronic catastrophe loss. These are not caused by, but could be made worse by,
climate change. The average calendar year losses, including claims adjustment expenses, of severe weather catastrophe losses (such as rain, wind/hail and tornadoes) of
the past 3 years (2022, 2021 and 2020) are $2.4 billion [($192M+$107M+$43M)/3+($1,936M+$1,878M+$1,940M)/3+($515M+$611M+$30M)/3] for tornado, wind/hail, and
freeze/other events, respectively. These losses are differentiated from severe weather events resulting from hurricane, wildfire and earthquake (Acute risk). In total, the
$921M + $2.4B = $3.34B, which is listed as the potential financial impact. Note that these figures exclude prior year reserve re-estimates and aggregate reinsurance
recoveries.
Cost of response to risk
788000000
CDP Page of 7312
Description of response and explanation of cost calculation
Situation: Allstate uses models developed by third-party vendors and its own historical data in assessing its property insurance exposure to catastrophe losses. These
models assume various conditions and probability scenarios. Allstate has addressed its risk of hurricane loss by, among other actions, purchasing reinsurance. Insurance
underwriting principles and reinsurance purchase are also guided by Allstate’s corporate risk tolerance.
Task: Monitor total risk relative to the corporate risk tolerance.
Action: In areas most exposed to hurricanes, Allstate is limiting personal homeowners, landlord package, and manufactured home new business policies, implementing
tropical cyclone deductibles where appropriate, and not offering continuing coverage on certain policies. Allstate continues to seek appropriate returns for the risks it writes.
As of Dec. 31, 2022, Allstate has less than a 1% likelihood of exceeding annual aggregate catastrophe losses of $2.5 billion net of reinsurance from hurricanes, wildfires,
and earthquakes based on modeled assumptions and applications currently available, which is within its corporate risk tolerance.
Result: Continued monitoring and active management of Allstate’s risks may highlight further necessary actions, in geographies where it is not achieving appropriate risk-
adjusted returns. For example, Allstate stopped offering new business policies for Owners and Condo risks in California in November 2022. However, Allstate may maintain
or opportunistically increase its presence in areas where it achieves adequate returns and does not materially increase its catastrophe risk. Property catastrophe exposure
management includes purchasing reinsurance to provide coverage for known exposure to catastrophes. As of June 1, 2022, Allstate was covered on a first event
Nationwide (ex-FL) basis for losses in excess of $6.6 billion after any applicable retentions (historically $500M for this program) and co-participation. This tower is in
addition to stand-alone towers for Florida, the National General Reciprocal companies, and National General Lender Services. Allstate is also working to promote measures
to prevent and mitigate losses and make homes and communities more resilient.
Breakdown of figure: The total cost of Allstate’s catastrophe reinsurance program during 2022 was $788 million, which represents the total premium across all traditionally
placed and cat bond contracts in 2022.

Company-specific description
In addition to extreme weather events, Allstate is also subject to claims arising from weather events such as winter storms, rain, hail, and high winds. Climate change could
produce changes in weather patterns and increase the frequency of severe weather. There is generally an increase in the frequency and severity of auto and property
claims when severe weather conditions occur. Severe weather trends can increase operational risks, disrupting customer policy service and claims handling.
Allstate ensures business continuity following a catastrophe through a multifaceted readiness and response strategy. The Allstate Foundation partners with agents and
nonprofits to prepare communities for disasters. At the state level, Allstate has successfully advocated for changes that address climate change by strengthening building
codes, expanding emergency response capabilities, and creating catastrophe insurance pools. Following a catastrophe, the Allstate Disaster Help Center and Mobile Claims
Centers allow claims to be serviced rapidly, online and on the ground. Claims contractors provide additional support during periods of claims staffing shortages, including
during natural disasters. Such provisions support disaster-readiness for customers, communities, and business operations. A climate-related technological risk to Allstate
lies in the processing of claims during severe weather events. To handle claims on-site, Allstate needs reliable, secure, and effective technology. Vulnerabilities such as
connectivity issues, security breaches, or access to electricity must be mitigated, so these are included in Allstate’s risk assessment process to ensure proper business
continuity. The impact of prior severe weather events, such as Hurricane Ian in 2022, validated the effectiveness of Allstate’s catastrophe response and risk management
programs. Nevertheless, an increase in any year’s weather-related catastrophes could exert operational pressure on Allstate’s climate response team, which could lead to a
declining customer experience and associated loss from resulting client retention decreases. Likewise, Allstate operates offices throughout the United States, and a
weather-related event could cause an office to temporarily shut down, which could lead to operational loss. This is mitigated by the plans Allstate’s Business Continuity
team has in place in the event that a given office needs to temporarily shut down due to a geographically focused weather-related event.

office location, for example, has to temporarily shut down and/or if employees in a given location are required to temporarily relocate due to a weather-related event. The
Business Continuity Team develops plans which are implemented as the need arises. These plans are regularly tested during various business continuity exercises. Allstate
deploys significant claims resources preparing for and responding to catastrophes to ensure appropriate claims handling and execution.

Explanation of financial impact figure
Reputational damage is a significant risk to Allstate. If customers perceive that Allstate is not responding appropriately to climate change risk and they lose confidence in
Allstate’s management approach, demand for Allstate’s products and services could decrease. As a company’s reputation decreases, so may corresponding support for the
company, including for behaviors with a clear financial impact, such as willingness to buy a policy and recommend Allstate to other potential customers. As a result, there
could be a negative impact on revenue in the short and long term. A decrease in the company's reputation may also lead to a decrease in valuation of the company's stock.
Breakdown of figure: Allstate does not have a reliable method for accurately estimating the financial impacts of this risk, but expects that it would affect less than 1% of
revenues, which is reflected by the figure in “Potential financial impact.” (1% of 2022 revenues of $51,412,000,000)

Description of response and explanation of cost calculation
Allstate manages reputational risk via multiple channels. These channels include measuring and reporting the company’s energy use and greenhouse gas emissions
annually and allocating resources to Allstate’s reputation management department. For example, Allstate continually seeks stakeholder input to ensure it is focusing on
what matters regarding sustainability and corporate responsibility. In 2020, Allstate completed a materiality assessment to identify and prioritize key issues and determined
that climate change is a critical topic for both Allstate and its stakeholders. Allstate’s ESG Steering Committee meets monthly to review existing and emerging environmental
and social issues, identify opportunities and strategies to address these issues, and encourage and enable employee engagement with the company’s sustainability
strategy. By properly managing the risks our stakeholders care most about, Allstate aims to mitigate potential reputational impacts that may arise.
Breakdown of figure: Allstate's management of reputational risk includes costs devoted to its reporting and disclosure practices, internal resources dedicated to Allstate's
CDP Page of 7314
reputation management, and costs incurred by the use of external consultants that help the company to analyze gaps in its climate-related assessments. Allstate estimates
this cost to be approximately $4M annually for management of ESG activities which includes ESG consulting, advocacy professionals who work with the company on
multiple issues at federal and state level, and other professional services.

Company-specific description
Climate change presents physical risks to real estate and infrastructure investments, as well as transition risks that impact holdings in certain industries, requiring
consideration within investment underwriting and portfolio management activities.
During 2022, Allstate Investments’ risk management team led an effort to provide initial insights about the carbon footprint of its investment portfolio (“how we affect the
planet”) and on the physical and transition risks associated with global warming (“how the planet affects us”). The intent of the exercise was to provide a roadmap for future
analysis, to broadly quantify risks where possible, and to combine rudimentary carbon footprint information across broad portfolio categories including capital structure,
liquidity, credit quality, and maturities.
The carbon footprint analysis provided input to evaluate issues and tradeoffs as Allstate considered various paths toward net zero. Allstate also identified data gaps and will
implement enhanced measurement and evaluation tools during 2023.
For transition risk (framed as “the risk that comes with addressing climate change”), the initial analysis indicated that though coverage is limited, transition risk is unlikely
greater than other market “tail risk” estimates. Physical risk (framed as “the risk that comes from not addressing climate change”) is likely to be real estate-centric for
Allstate’s investment portfolio.

Projected electric vehicle (EV) adoption is accelerating with each year. Auto manufacturers are currently planning to transition more of their fleet to attract additional
consumers with choices in model and price, creating many new price entry points with familiar brands. Now that a substantial number of EVs are deployed on the road,
Allstate is engaged with the Insurance Institute for Highway Data Losses and CCC Information Systems to understand EV claims and claims expenses. Allstate is updating
risk analytics to ensure that electric vehicle premiums are calculated using the projected frequency and severity associated with each electric vehicle (inclusive of the safety
features available on each vehicle), bringing the pricing sophistication typical of Allstate to EV policyholders as well.
In addition, Allstate is leveraging its broad portfolio of companies, including Allstate Roadside Services and Allstate Protection Services (Allstate’s device protection

Explanation of financial impact figure
Breakdown of figure: The US Department of Energy - Alternative Fuels Data Center (as of 2021), the Edison Electric Institute "Electric Vehicle Sales and the Charging
Infrastructure Required Through 2030" (June 2022), and internal Allstate data/methods (as of Dec. 2022) were used to project the number of registered EVs by the year
2030. The projections in the states where Allstate anticipates growing electric vehicle customers were multiplied by a range of potential changes to Allstate’s market share
of the EV insurance market to calculate the number of additional EVs projected to be insured by Allstate in 2030 due to more accurately rating EV owners with their
associated risk as well as leveraging the broad portfolio of Allstate companies to meet the full needs of EV owners. Finally, the additional number of EVs was multiplied by
Allstate’s average yearly profit per vehicle.
Formula: Projected Registered EVs by 2030 * Range of Potential Changes to Allstate’s Market Share of the EV Insurance Market * Average Yearly Profit Per Vehicle =
Potential Financial Impact
Please note: The financial impact figures calculate additional revenue from capturing a great share of EV insurance customers. They do not consider any declining revenue
due to reduced gas-powered vehicles over time.
Cost to realize opportunity
500000
Strategy to realize opportunity and explanation of cost calculation
Our strategy is to understand the full range of concerns that consumers face when considering transitioning to EVs and position Allstate to help consumers through as many
of these concerns as Allstate can reasonably address.
Situation: Projected electric vehicle adoption is accelerating with each year. Auto manufacturers are currently planning to transition more of their fleet to attract additional
consumers with choices in model and price, creating many new price entry points with familiar brands.
Task: Consumers will face a full range of concerns when considering transitioning to EVs. Allstate’s breadth of products and services can help consumers through many of
these concerns.
Assessment: Allstate conducted consumer research to build an understanding of these concerns (and how the feelings of early adopters compare to the larger base of
consumers that are now considering EV adoption). These concerns include overall cost to insure, range anxiety, battery degradation anxiety, and uncertainty on how to
equip their residence with battery charging devices.
Result: Starting in 2022, Allstate began the process of developing a portfolio of products and services that address the most relevant anxieties, thereby helping consumers
transition to EV usage.
CDP Page of 7316
Breakdown of figure: The cost to realize the opportunity was based on estimated resource capacity needed to design, develop and deliver the portfolio of products and
services that address the most relevant EV owner concerns. Employee resources are involved from Product/Service Innovation and Development, Property/Liability Product
Management, and Protection Products and Services, dedicating more than 1,000 hours to this work so far. Additionally, resources will be spent on technology changes and
effectively bringing any new solutions to market.

Company-specific description
Investing in areas that both generate returns and provide social and environmental impact is not new to Allstate; the company has been doing so for decades. Allstate is a
founding member of Impact Community Capital, which will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2023. More recently, Allstate added investments in climate such as TPG Rise
Climate and Little Leaf Farms. As of Dec. 31, 2022, Allstate managed a $61.8 billion investment portfolio, with $7.5 billion in responsible investment categories such as
education, sustainability, affordable housing, health care, green bonds, diverse sponsors, natural capital and renewable investments. Allstate integrates ESG
considerations within its investment analysis and decision-making processes and has established climate change and Inclusive Diversity and Equity as two pillars important
to its investing approach while continuing to meet stockholder needs by having a positive financial impact. Allstate announced a goal in 2021 to expand climate-related
investment capabilities and relationships. Allstate achieved this goal, and by year-end 2022, had committed $469 million in climate-related opportunities. The impact Allstate
hopes to have is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns while funding the transition to a lower carbon economy by investing in opportunities that fit two areas: climate
mitigation and climate adaptation.

Strategy to realize opportunity and explanation of cost calculation
As responsible investors, Allstate considers ESG an essential component of comprehensive investment risk assessment and has developed teams, policies, training and
goals to guide its investment decisions accordingly. Allstate continues to increase the percentage of its portfolio allocated to responsible investments, actively evaluate how
ESG issues influence investment performance, and pursue strategies that capture additional risk-adjusted return from the transition to a lower-carbon economy.
Situation: Allstate identified that investing in sustainability has the potential to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns given the transition to a lower carbon economy,
regulatory support, consumer preferences, capital need and total addressable market. The company has seen an increase in the number of opportunities for sustainable
investment through its sourcing channels.
Task: Allstate set a goal to commit $375M in climate-related investments over the course of 2021 and 2022.
Action: Allstate created a climate investment strategy and identified direct investments with attractive return characteristics, alongside strong impact attributes. Allstate
focused on partnering with existing managers in its portfolio and identified new strategic partners with the ability to deliver on its dual objective of returns and impact.
Result: Allstate achieved this goal on capital commitment, and by year-end 2022, had committed $469 million in climate-related opportunities and will track the impact that
these dollars have. Allstate identified several strategic partners to invest alongside to achieve the current goal. The company’s climate strategy identifies two key areas:
climate mitigation and climate adaptation. Allstate’s strategy will be dynamic and evolve over time incorporating current risk-return, market, and regulatory characteristics.
Breakdown of figure: While much of the cost and expertise to realize the opportunity exists within Allstate’s current investment team and structure, as the company looks to
expand upon its strategy it may allocate additional resources to supplement its existing team. The current cost to realize opportunity is calculated based on Allstate
Investments’ total annual spend on external providers to provide data and analytics to assist with measuring climate risk in its portfolio and enhancing data on its private
investments.

Company-specific description
Allstate's business is affected by the worsening impacts of climate change. Like all businesses, Allstate also contributes to climate change. To mitigate this, Allstate focuses
on its operational footprint. The company measures and aims to minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the buildings and vehicles it owns or leases, including a
number of initiatives such as reduction of office square footage, fleet modifications to Hybrid vehicles, opportunities for buildings to become more energy efficient (indoor
lighting retrofits, outdoor lighting retrofits and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) replacements, purchasing of Renewable Energy Credits (REC’s) at its Hudson office and
other offices where feasible, the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel, solar panel installation (Pune, India), K-Cup recycling program and Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) certification of office space(s).
In 2022, Allstate announced its commitment to achieve net zero emissions for direct, indirect and value-chain greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.and the company is
developing a net zero roadmap in 2023. This implementation roadmap will include setting in 2023 yearly intermediate emissions targets toward achieving net zero by 2030.

Cost to realize opportunity
1000000
Strategy to realize opportunity and explanation of cost calculation
In 2022, Allstate reduced its real estate footprint of owned and leased Allstate and National General facilities from over 9 million square feet to under 7 million square feet.
This downsizing of real estate reduces Allstate’s operational energy and water usage, GHG emissions and waste production. Of the office space the company still leases or
owns, more than 694,000 square feet was LEED-certified by 2022. Allstate reduced its energy consumption further by recapturing heat energy as a byproduct of its data
center operations and using energy-efficient equipment and systems. In 2022, lighting updates in some of Allstate’s remaining facilities saved an additional 211,167 KWH of
electricity. In October 2022, the company sold its 232-acre campus in Northbrook, Illinois, which accounted for 2 million square feet of real estate footprint reduction.
Several years ago, the company started to use more hybrid vehicles to improve fuel economy and reduce GHG emissions. Allstate has also reduced the size of its fleet as
it relies more on aerial surveys for claims data. Allstate’s goal is to have 100% hybrid vehicles by 2025 and to incorporate electric vehicles thereafter. At the end of 2022,
Allstate's legacy fleet was 85% hybrid, and the company's total fleet, which includes Avail and National General vehicles, was 52% hybrid.
Allstate installed solar panels with 40kW of capacity in Pune, India, feeding power to the emergency lighting and critical air conditioning units which are all 24x7 loads.
Reduction is estimated at 65,000 KWH/year.
The company’s real estate reductions, reuse and recycling partnerships, and sustainable procurement decisions work together with continued focus on limiting emissions
where possible. Until the electrical grids in Allstate’s operating locations fully decarbonize, however, providing power to its facilities will continue to produce GHG emissions.
To compensate, Allstate purchased renewable energy credits (RECs). In 2021, Allstate purchased RECs to cover 100% of the 44,319 MWh of electricity use from its Illinois
and Texas facilities. This represents 26% of Allstate’s total U.S. electricity use from owned and leased facilities in that year and is equivalent to 20,579 metric tonnes of
CO2e emissions.
Other initiatives include reviewing the feasibility of utilizing Sustainable Aviation Fuel, a K-cup recycling program in various locations, and upgrades for efficiency gains.

Allstate is leveraging the NGFS Scenario Framework to inform its Climate scenario analysis efforts. Allstate is initially focused on three of the scenarios: Current
Policy, Net Zero 2050 and Delayed. Allstate is using these scenarios because they will provide a range of outcomes for the company to evaluate, analyze and
incorporate into its holistic strategy. Allstate’s Catastrophe Modeling and Analytics Team (CMAT) and Pricing Groups monitor climate change information as part of
their analysis of weather-related trends. Allstate captures a distribution of potential scenarios using assumptions calibrated to varying climate change scenarios.
Models developed internally and by third-party vendors are used along with Allstate’s own historical data in assessing property insurance exposure to catastrophe
losses. Internal modeling of external climate scenarios is targeted for 2022/23 and will be coordinated by Enterprise Risk and Return Management (ERRM) across the
Allstate organization. Losses and changes in exposure, as well as business continuity, resiliency, and solvency, are projected and analyzed and reported to senior
leaders biannually, with additional monitoring provided as needed. Quantitative scenario analysis, using timeframes up to 30 years, explores the impacts of stress
events which may include elevated weather catastrophes. This is done, at a minimum, annually during the strategic planning process, which is shared with the Board,
and often done more frequently.
The CMAT also partners with Allstate’s Investment group to model mortgage and real estate portfolios under consideration. Allstate classifies its commercial real
estate investments based on their modeled exposure to certain catastrophe risks and incorporates these risks in its underwriting and insurance practices. The
portfolio is geographically diversified with modest exposure to coastal properties and areas of California most prone to wildfires due to deliberate underwriting around
wildfire, flood and hurricane exposure. Case Study: For the past several years, Allstate has steadily increased agricultural and timber holdings in the investment
portfolio, taking both a short- and long-term view when considering the risks inherent in this portfolio, including climate-related risks.

Unknown Allstate’s Business Continuity Management team has business continuity plans for most critical processes at Allstate. Those plans address a variety of scenarios,
including loss of facility due to weather-related occurrences. Allstate’s business continuity lifecycle involves identifying the most critical processes, developing
Business Continuity Plans (BCPs) for them, and then performing exercises for each plan. The lifecycle is performed annually. Dependencies such as vendors, key
technology, and other processes are addressed in the plans. The exercise scenarios vary by BCPs and business areas and departments based on their specific
greatest risks. Scenarios may include loss of location, personnel, systems/data, and key third parties. Allstate has conducted exercises in the past related to severe
weather (hurricane, typhoon, etc.). Each exercise includes an after-action review, and any gaps are documented in Allstate’s Archer Issues Management system for
remediation in addition to BCPs being updated based on new learnings.

(C3.2b) Provide details of the focal questions your organization seeks to address by using climate-related scenario analysis, and summarize the results with
respect to these questions.

Focal questions
How large are the incremental losses that climate change could potentially drive within Allstate’s property insurance lines of business? How to best reflect the near-current
climate for ratemaking and capital analysis?
Results of the climate-related scenario analysis with respect to the focal questions
How the results have informed decisions and actions:
Allstate’s bespoke scenario and catastrophe models that reflect the current and near-current climate are utilized to develop premiums for hurricane, wildfire, and earthquake
risk in Allstate’s insurance products, where regulatorily allowed. For hurricanes, where regulatorily allowed, premiums reflect a view of loss potential based on warm sea
surface temperatures. These catastrophe models, including the warm sea surface view of hurricane risk, are also used for development of product strategies like in what
markets Allstate actively sells policies and what coverage terms are offered. Allstate has a geographically dispersed book of business within the United States, which is
subject to, for example, the increased prevalence of wildfire occurrence. These catastrophe models are also used for capital analysis. As described earlier, Allstate uses
quantitative scenarios to explore the impacts of stress events which may include elevated weather catastrophes to determine if the company is adequately capitalized. This
analysis explores scenario impacts on metrics including, but not limited to, Return on Economic Capital, Net Income, Investment Total Return, Deployable Capital, and
Debt-to-Capital ratio. Allstate reviews its capital position and key performance metrics to evaluate what management actions it may implement before, during, and after
such events to mitigate financial risk.
Description of the results:
Allstate continues to maintain strong capital and liquidity positions, and assessment of alternative scenarios shows its projected resilience. Allstate’s capital foundation
enables it to withstand extreme and sequential macro and catastrophe-driven shocks. As capital is deployed and environments change, sufficiency will be proactively
monitored.

Products
and
services
Yes Allstate seeks to understand climate risks that directly affect both its insurance products and its assets. Allstate modifies those products and protects those assets accordingly, to
protect its shareholders, customers and reputation. For example, the company provides the Homeowners Policy Green Improvement Reimbursement Endorsement, which allows a
customer to replace covered, damaged, or destroyed equipment with more energy-efficient items. This endorsement includes a provision under which customers are reimbursed the
additional cost incurred to replace such appliances. In addition, Allstate offers Milewise, a “pay-per-mile” personal auto insurance product which invites drivers to “Drive Less. Save
More,” and may decrease total miles driven and result in lower total emissions. Management of the Commercial Real Estate portfolio reflects potential impacts of climate change to
commercial real estate investments.
Supply
chain
and/or

chain
Yes At Allstate, environmental and social leadership in purchasing decisions helps the company demonstrate Our Shared Purpose. Under the Chief Procurement Officer, the Sustainability
Sourcing Lead is dedicated to overseeing Allstate’s sustainable procurement strategy that evaluates, tracks, and mitigates ESG risk exposure, increasing visibility and transparency in
the supply chain. By understanding how suppliers are managing factors such as GHG emissions, waste, regulatory compliance, and cybersecurity, Allstate can better articulate its
expectations. By actively managing these risks, Allstate enhances our reputation and aligns procurement decisions with environmental and social responsibility, which increases the
confidence of stakeholders who depend on Allstate’s performance.
Investment
in R&D
Yes Allstate’s long-term strategy includes investments in technology, data, and analytics to further drive efficiencies in its operations and the products it offers to customers. The
transformation of the personal transportation system – brought about by trends in vehicle connectivity, electrification, shared mobility and autonomous driving technologies – will result in
tremendous efficiencies and benefits, including environmental. Allstate is pursuing several initiatives to support the transformation of the personal transportation system. Two personal
auto insurance products developed by Allstate, Drivewise and Milewise, are changing the landscape of auto insurance and offering customers greater transparency and pricing
sophistication, thanks to significant developments in technology, telematics, and data analytics. Allstate has launched Avail, a peer-to-peer car sharing platform that connects drivers
and car owners, providing a protected car sharing experience conveniently located where people live, work and travel. Allstate is also supporting the adoption of different transportation
modes by providing insurance solutions to ride-hailing providers such as Uber. There have also been investments in data and analytics with the intent of enhanced pricing sophistication.
Most recently, this has included a partnership with ZestyAI for the evaluation of wildfire risk.
Operations Yes Allstate seeks to maintain an understanding of climate risks that directly affect its insurance products, assets and investment portfolio, and to adjust its strategy and risk profile
accordingly to protect shareholders, customers, and our reputation. Specifically, weather and natural catastrophe loss volatility and other climate impacts are factored into the Enterprise
Risk and Return Council (ERRC)‘s approved risk limits and growth strategies, which are reviewed with the Board. Allstate’s business objectives and strategy are then informed by
identified risks, as applicable. Allstate has also built out its operational risk and return framework to ensure preparedness for operational responses and losses related to climate change
impacts. Additionally, Allstate is conscious of the environmental footprint of its operations and continuously strives to decrease its impact. Efforts include reducing companywide paper
use and helping customers do the same, as well as promoting recycling and energy reduction efforts at Allstate facilities.

Climate-related risks and opportunities factor into Allstate’s financial planning process for the elements listed.
Revenues: The insurance industry is exposed to climate-related risks, such as catastrophes and severe weather events, which may subject Allstate’s P&C business to significant losses. These
risks could impact Allstate’s revenues in a variety of ways. For example, homeowners premium growth rates and retention could be adversely impacted by adjustments to Allstate’s business
structure, size and underwriting practices in markets with significant severe weather and catastrophe risk exposure. Allstate expects the overall magnitude of this impact to be medium. The time
horizon for climate-related revenue risks is long-term (7-30 years, as defined in 2.1a of this CDP report).
Liabilities: Increases in frequency or severity of natural catastrophes have a direct impact on Allstate’s insurance liabilities. For example, there may be increased frequency or intensity of
storms, tornadoes, and hurricanes, as well as wildfires and flooding in various geographic areas. Additionally, there may be impacts on the demand, price and availability of automobile and
homeowners insurance, reinsurance coverages, as well as the value of Allstate’s investment portfolio. Due to significant variability associated with future changing climate conditions, the
company is unable to predict the impact climate change will have on its business. The time horizon for climate-related liability risks is long-term (7-30 years, as defined in 2.1a of this CDP
report).
Case Study: Impacts of rising sea levels, increased flooding, and hurricane exposure on Florida real estate, and potential impacts factored into planning
A. Expected impacts of increasing temperatures by 2050:
1) Hurricanes – Lower frequency but increasing severity. Average loss is similar with increased volatility.
2) Flooding – increased precipitation and sea levels, more storm surges with hurricane events, more localized ’100-year’ floods.
B. Evaluation of potential risks within the social/economic system:
1) Allstate has direct exposure to hurricanes through our products.
2) Some risk is mitigated by passing it to reinsurers. The Florida Hurricane Cat Fund (FHCF) and other state-specific wind pools expose us to some credit risk and assessment exposures.
3) Flood exposure is covered by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), for which we administer claims.
4) Poor customer experience with NFIP can expose us to reputational risk.
5) Increasing costs of direct damage coverage suppress existing property values.
6) May lead to secondary exposure in certain assets, such as State/Municipal debt.
The time horizon for these climate-related revenue risks is long-term (7-30 years, as defined in 2.1a of this CDP report).

Allstate has created a dedicated impact portfolio to invest alongside two key pillars: inclusive diversity and equity and climate change. For those investments in the climate
change area, Allstate is working with external managers to understand emissions of portfolio companies, beginning with Scope 1 & 2 emissions, to establish an appropriate
baseline, after which the company can determine how to monitor and measure changes over time. Understanding their existing measurement process is a focus of due
diligence. Allstate will also evaluate other relevant key performance indicators (KPIs) that will help it measure the impact its investments will have. In Allstate’s broader
portfolio, Allstate asks external managers, especially in higher emitting sectors, about climate and consider their response as part of investment diligence. However, there is
no specific requirement at this time.

emissions-reduction targets that will allow the company to meet its 2030 Net Zero Goal that
was established at the end of 2022. Actual scope 1 and 2 emissions are projected to
decline by an estimated 10-15% of base year emissions per year as Allstate accelerates its
emission reduction programs. Actual scope 3 emissions are expected to decline at a slightly
slower rate (6-10%) due to return to post-pandemic working conditions and the service-
based nature of Allstate's business model.
Allstate did not have an emissions target in 2022 as we focused on developing a foundational climate
policy aligned with a new Net Zero goal that will have intermediate emissions targets in the future.
Allstate announced a Net Zero by 2030 goal at the end of 2022 and has already begun developing a
Net Zero roadmap in 2023, that will set near-term targets and help Allstate prioritize emissions
reduction initiatives. This implementation roadmap will include setting annual intermediate emissions
targets toward achieving Net Zero by 2030. Allstate will begin reporting these yearly emissions targets
in next year's CDP response. Refer to Allstate’s Net Zero announcement for additional context about
its decarbonization plans and ambition.

reduction
activities
Allstate's priority in terms of GHG emissions is to prevent them from happening. Allstate’s real estate reductions, reuse and recycling partnerships, and sustainable procurement decisions work
together with continued focus on limiting its emissions where possible. Until the electrical grids in Allstate operating locations fully decarbonize, however, providing power to its facilities will continue to
produce GHG emissions. To compensate, the company purchases renewable energy credits (RECs). In 2021, Allstate purchased RECs to cover 100% of the 44,319 MWh of electricity use from its
Illinois and Texas facilities. This represents 26% of Allstate’s total U.S. electricity use from owned and leased facilities in that year and is equivalent to 20,579 metric tonnes of CO2e emissions. In
2023 Allstate is expanding this to cover 100% of electricity in its Hudson, OH facilities.

(Customer
engagement)
Allstate encourages electronic customer communications to help cut costs and reduce the company’s footprint and theirs. Allstate has invested $12.5 million in improving customers’ digital, paperless
experience since 2015. The company’s eDelivery and Document Management teams offer three paperless initiatives: eSignature, ePolicy and eBill. Customers are prompted to use Allstate’s online
self-service hub to sign up for these free services, and these programs were highly utilized in 2022.

Pay-per-mile coverage is auto insurance based primarily on the miles a customer drives. Consumers want personalized products and services that give them more control
over cost and usage, and Allstate is staying on top of this trend. Milewise incentivizes customers to drive less (and subsequently emit less CO2) by providing real-time
savings to those customers. The less you drive, the less you pay because customers of this product pay only for the miles they drive. Milewise, Allstate’s pay-per-mile auto
insurance, is available in 22 states and gives customers the same great coverage and claim service from Allstate. The number of vehicles that are written under our
Milewise product increased by about 30% in 2022. Allstate ended 2022 with around 350,000 vehicles enrolled in the Milewise product.
Please note: the portfolio percentage is based on the number of vehicles with the Milewise Product and the total standard auto Allstate vehicles countrywide.

Using telematics, the science of collecting data through sensors in a vehicle, Allstate has redefined insurance. Allstate’s Drivewise product personalizes the auto experience
and provides customers insights into their behavior to promote and reward safe driving. Drivewise is available in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Allstate was the first
major U.S. insurer to bring to market a mobile app to collect data for a telematics-based insurance program. As of Dec. 31, 2022, Allstate had over 1.79 million Drivewise
connections. Drivewise incentivizes customers to drive more safely (and subsequently more slowly, emitting less CO2) by providing real-time savings to those customers.
The more safely you drive, the less you pay, and the lower the carbon impacts due to greater mileage efficiency.

based emissions between 2021 and 2022, after changes due to renewable energy consumption, acquisition, and physical operating conditions
were accounted for, was attributed to methodology changes.
Total change in scope 1 + scope 2 location-based emissions from 2021 to 2022:
(38,610 mt CO2e + 70,674 mt CO2e) - (40,027 mt CO2e + 66,373 mt CO2e) = 19,020 mt CO2e.
That total change in scope 1 + scope 2 location-based emissions from 2021 to 2022, less the increase from acquisition and the decrease from
changes to physical operating conditions:
19,020 mt CO2e – 17,586 mt CO2e – -20,761 mt CO2e = 19,327 mt CO2e.
Percent change: 19,327 mt CO2e / (38,610 mt CO2e + 70,674 mt CO2e) = 18% increase.

Rationale for the coverage of your engagement
Environmental and social leadership in Allstate’s strategic sourcing and purchasing decisions helps the company demonstrate Our Shared Purpose. In 2018 the Chief
Procurement Officer established a full-time position dedicated to overseeing Allstate’s sustainable procurement process. In this role, the Sustainable Procurement Lead
facilitates Allstate’s sustainable procurement strategy that evaluates, tracks, and mitigates ESG risk exposure, increasing visibility and transparency in the supply chain. In
2020, Allstate appointed its first-ever Chief Sustainability Officer.
The company screens suppliers for ethical and sustainable practices and helps them adopt similar behaviors by asking all suppliers sustainability-related questions during
the supplier Request for Proposal (RFP) process. This includes disclosing their environmental performance via the CDP Climate questionnaire. 100% of the 135 RFx events
conducted by Allstate in 2022 included these questions, impacting 100% of all procurement spend for those events. Figures are reported for this question as Allstate
believes they best reflect its efforts to engage with all suppliers on sustainability issues. Allstate is evolving its category/ sourcing and supplier management processes by
integrating ESG criteria into its end-to-end procurement processes and systems, including Request for Proposals, Request for Information, Request for Quotes (also known
as RFx) events, supplier agreements, supplier performance assessment scorecards, as well as developing and leveraging sustainability KPIs and metrics. In 2022 the RFx
transactions managed by Sourcing & Procurement Solutions engaged 1256 suppliers (20% of our total supply chain) which represented 20% of Allstate’s 2022 procurement
spend. By understanding how suppliers are managing climate-related risks, Allstate can better articulate its expectations. By managing these risks, Allstate aligns
procurement decisions with environmental and social responsibility, increasing stakeholder confidence.
Impact of engagement, including measures of success
Allstate relies on more than 6411 third-party suppliers (excluding claims remediation related suppliers) to provide goods and services, illustrating the role that the Sourcing &
Procurement Solutions organization can have in driving higher degrees of sustainability within Allstate. Allstate’s 2022 sustainable procurement activities included:
1) Offering employees’ rental cars from a leading car rental company whose leadership has its own set of core values that align with Allstate’s. The car rental company
provides hybrid vehicles for companies that want to encourage and, in some cases, require the traveling employee to rent a hybrid because of the lower impact that it has
on our environment.
2) Partnering with Safelite, a windshield repair company that provides customers with windshield glass replacement and recycling services. The recycling process reduces
the impact of GHG emissions due to avoided emissions in the manufacturing of new glass. It is estimated that over 90% of windshield materials can be recycled, and since
its inception in 2012, the recycling program has recycled 15 million windshields. 1 ton of CO2 emissions are prevented for every 6 tons of glass recycled, and through its
partnership with Safelite, Allstate recycled 3,604 tons of glass during 2022. The long-term benefits of this partnership include the reduction of waste to landfill, energy
conservation, and the creation of 8 jobs for every 1,000 tons of glass recycled.
3) E-waste is the world's fastest growing waste stream. One of the tools Allstate uses to measure responsible procurement performance is the Electronics Environmental
Benefits Calculator provided by its partner HOBI International Inc., which services all Allstate facilities nationwide with IT and mobile asset disposition. In 2022, Allstate's
partnership with HOBI extended the life of 39,249 devices through reuse and recycled 7,101 more. Energy savings captured in 2022 was equivalent to powering almost
6195 US households with electricity for one year and air emissions were reduced by 302,848 metric tons.

response among all other CDP members), Allstate’s supplier selection process incorporates the following criteria: 1) Annual spend, 2) Segmentation classification, 3)
Carbon intensity, 4) Small businesses or first-time responders, 5) Invitation history. Data collected informs areas of supplier progress and improvement, identifies
collaborative opportunities that generate mutual business value, and influences Allstate’s emissions reduction progress that is reported to its investors and customers. The
169 invited suppliers represent 101% of Allstate’s total addressable spend. Of the 169 suppliers, 136 are among Allstate’s top 300 critical suppliers which represent 107% of
Allstate’s addressable spend. Addressable spend represents the portion of a company’s spending that can be influenced/optimized through strategic sourcing and
procurement activities. The percentage is higher than 100% as these suppliers include third parties outside the scope of addressable spend.
Impact of engagement, including measures of success
The impact of engagement with Allstate’s suppliers resulted in $10B in annual monetary savings and 46MMT in estimated annual CO2 reduction. Allstate measures its
success of engagement by its annual supplier response rate which increased from 90% in 2021 to 93% in 2022. CDP performance is a component of Allstate’s Supplier
Performance Assessment scorecard. Suppliers are rated annually on their CDP participation and tracked in Allstate's enterprise governance risk management and
compliance platform.

In 2020, Allstate focused on measuring the percentage of suppliers responding to the CDP Climate questionnaire. In 2021, Allstate’s response rate increased to 90% and in
2022, the response rate was 93%, compared to the average response rate of 64% among all CDP member companies. In 2022, Allstate focused on the 12 suppliers (7%)
CDP Page of 7351
who did not respond to the CDP Climate questionnaire. The rationale for not responding was provided by five suppliers. Allstate’s Chief Procurement Officer reached out to
the remaining seven suppliers to understand why they did not disclose their environmental data. Suppliers were also informed that their company's CDP disclosure status
may be considered as a component of its supplier performance review. Allstate’s intent was to identify any challenges suppliers might have experienced during 2022
disclosure and to provide guidance and coaching for improving their performance in 2023.
Impact of engagement, including measures of success
Allstate’s intent is to educate suppliers across various industries, in particular those who are participating in CDP for the first time. Many of Allstate’s suppliers are service
providers who are not familiar with the emissions generated by their business operations. Setting expectations drives awareness of climate change risks and opportunities,
improvement of sustainability capabilities, as well as enabling suppliers to establish a baseline for reducing their emissions and improving their performance year over year.
During the reporting year, suppliers were encouraged to take the first step by identifying emissions reduction activities in their operations which will influence their goal
setting. Suppliers were provided individual consultation via one-on-one coaching sessions, industry specific guidance to help them understand the impact of GHG emissions
on their operations, and personalized communications identifying target areas within their business. This supplier engagement strategy helps suppliers assess the risks and
opportunities associated with the emissions in their operations and helps them improve their climate change strategies.
The threshold at which Allstate consider its impact to be successful in engaging with the 12 non-responding suppliers is 100%. Allstate achieved an 83% success rate due
to the two non-responding suppliers who did not disclose to CDP in 2021 or 2022.

% total procurement spend (direct and indirect)
100
% of supplier-related Scope 3 emissions as reported in C6.5
Rationale for the coverage of your engagement
As part of the procurement process, all suppliers, existing and new, doing business with Allstate must adhere to the requirements of Allstate’s Supplier Code of Business
Conduct regarding human rights, environmental stewardship, diversity, equity & inclusion and more.
In 2022, Allstate began updating the Environmental Stewardship section of its Supplier Code of Business Conduct to include reducing greenhouse gas emissions,
increasing energy efficiency, reducing water and natural resource consumption, and increasing waste diversion from landfills. The final document will be published in Q1
2023.
Further formalizing the expectations in its Code, in 2021, Allstate updated its contractual language to include ESG expectations of suppliers. In 2022, Allstate created a
Sustainability Rider which contains the same contractual sustainability language reflected in supplier agreement templates. The Sustainability Rider is a stand-alone
document which is used for inclusion in re-negotiated contracts and contracts with Evergreen clauses. It allows Allstate to re-engage on climate-related topics and
expectations with existing suppliers as robustly as Allstate does with new suppliers, ensuring that engagement covers 100% of suppliers. Speaking points were also
developed to help sourcing managers and business stakeholders understand the importance and value of the sustainability language to Allstate.
Allstate requests that suppliers use commercially reasonable efforts to provide environmentally and socially responsible products and services and improve their business
processes to reflect current industry practices and improvements in environmental and social responsibility. Allstate expects suppliers to have their own written Codes of
Conduct that ensure compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. Allstate is also committed to mitigating climate risk through supply chain emissions
reduction. Allstate expects suppliers will disclose their relevant data via the CDP Climate Change questionnaire. These expectations are reflected in Supplier Agreements
and the Supplier Code of Business Conduct.
Allstate engaged with Allstate India to align sustainable procurement opportunities, including emissions reduction in the supply chains, and the alignment of sustainable
procurement practices in the United States. An action plan will be identified in 2023.
Impact of engagement, including measures of success
The threshold at which Allstate consider engagement to be successful: Allstate expects 100% of its suppliers to comply with the Supplier Code of Business Conduct, as
stated in Supplier Agreements. To assist suppliers in meeting their contractual obligation, Allstate provides resources and guidance to those suppliers who might not have
their own documented company Codes.
Further formalizing the expectations in Supplier Agreements, a procurement process for Diversity and Sustainability Contract Language Governance was rolled out in 2022.
Impact of engagement: Diversity and sustainability contract language must be included in 100% of the agreements signed with third party suppliers. If a supplier requests
that this language be removed from a contract, the removal must be approved by the senior vice president or vice president in the Sourcing & Procurement Solutions
department. Allstate’s Supplier Agreements and Supplier Code of Business Conduct include the expectations that suppliers submit to CDP. Impact of engagement:
Suppliers are rated on their CDP participation via the Supplier Performance Assessment scorecard. Allstate uses an enterprise governance risk management and
compliance platform to track participation of 100% of the suppliers invited to participate in the CDP Climate questionnaire.
Aligning emissions expectations to supplier agreements is the initial step in engaging suppliers on climate related issues and the associated risks and opportunities.
Allstate’s updated Supplier Code of Business Conduct and supplier agreements drive awareness to Allstate’s annual CDP Supply Chain reporting expectations, which
drives action among suppliers to establish their own emissions reduction initiatives. This is an opportunity to educate suppliers on the importance of CDP disclosure, and the
impact of their emissions on Allstate’s net zero commitment. Examples: Suppliers who are beginning their sustainability journey have a better understanding of their carbon
footprint and emissions reduction opportunities and are provided guidance for improving their environmental performance. As part of Allstate’s goal to educate suppliers and
advocacy group partners on emissions reduction, during its 2022 Business Diversity Summit, Allstate provided resources to encourage companies to establish their own
ESG initiatives and to develop a company code of conduct.

Allstate provides financial incentives to customers for driving less, which results in reduced carbon emissions. Milewise, Allstate’s pay-per-mile auto insurance, is available
in 22 states (~50% of the market) and gives customers the same great coverage and claim service from Allstate.
Impact of engagement: The number of vehicles that are written under the Milewise product increased by about 30% in 2022. Allstate ended 2022 with around 350,000
vehicles enrolled in the Milewise product. This is approximately 2% of the standard auto Allstate vehicles countrywide.
Measure and threshold of success: In 2023, Allstate is targeting consistent month-over-month growth of Milewise policies even considering the rise of miles driven.
Examples: Customers with the Milewise product have told Allstate that the product encourages them to walk or ride their bike more often, drives them to become more
efficient with errands, and leads them to plan their trips with the shortest route possible; all of which can reduce carbon emissions. Please note: the portfolio coverage
percentage is based on the total standard auto Allstate vehicles countrywide.

Other, please specify (Allstate collects MSCI data for all investees with MSCI ESG Ratings. Allstate’s coverage is dependent upon the availability of MSCI’s ESG Ratings
reports, which is typically limited to public companies.)
Impact of engagement, including measures of success
Allstate uses MSCI data on public companies to help inform key issues related to private companies who do not have public ratings. This data is included in Allstate’s
assessment of potential exposures to environmental risks, including climate change. The data can also be used by analysts to engage with management teams on certain
issues that may not align with Allstate’s values or may present future risks to those investments.
Measure of success: The success of this engagement is measured by the proportion of higher-rated companies within the portfolio, as Allstate aims to consider ESG issues
that may influence investment performance and align with company values.
Allstate’s data quality has increased since it started gathering information. Over time, Allstate would expect higher availability of information disclosed by its investees.
