About Paratus Group

Paratus Group is an insurance group focused on decarbonisation by accelerating the transition to renewable energy and sustainable fuels. We partner with corporate clients to mitigate price volatility, P&L and balance sheet risk, to protect revenue and stabilise cashflow to better enable the allocation of capital into further renewable power projects and sustainability in the transition fuels industry.

Our effective and transparently-priced insurance policies are designed to settle by paying a predefined claim amount. The cash settlement is paid automatically.

The policy removes the need to deal with costly, complex, time-consuming and often opaque traditional hedging products.
