Sustainability in underwriting

We help our clients and partners manage the risks they face by assuming and transferring risks to our balance sheet. This in turn supports economic stability and fosters economic growth. Helping clients and society tackle environmental and social challenges is part of our commitment to sustainability and our vision to make the world more resilient. 

In line with the Group Sustainability Strategy, we assist our clients and partners in accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy by de-risking transition projects and infrastructure, for example, in areas such as renewable energy. 

When it comes to building societal resilience, we work with our clients to reduce the protection gap by developing products that offer protection from large risk events such as natural catastrophes and man-made disasters, particularly those impacting physical assets. Additionally, we help our clients and partners develop reinsurance solutions that support the financial inclusion of primary insurance beneficiaries, such as individuals and families experiencing a loss of income after a medical setback, disability or death.  

We seek to mitigate risks by embedding sustainability considerations into our re/insurance decisions, in accordance with the ESG Risk Framework. To further advance sustainability in re/insurance, we also engage with clients and other external stakeholders on the topic.
