Sustainability

In­sur­ers are ma­jor in­sti­tu­tion­al in­vestors with a long-term in­vest­ment hori­zon and a pref­er­ence for safe­ty.

The fourth sus­tain­abil­i­ty re­port of the in­sur­ance in­dus­try pro­vides in­for­ma­tion on the in­dus­try's wide-rang­ing mea­sures in the area of en­vi­ron­men­tal, fi­nan­cial and so­cial sus­tain­abil­i­ty.

In its fourth year now, the pri­vate in­sur­ers’ sus­tain­abil­i­ty re­port has demon­strat­ed that sus­tain­abil­i­ty is tak­en in­to ac­count at all stages in the val­ue chain.

The Prin­ci­ples for Sus­tain­able In­sur­ance serve as a glob­al frame­work for in­sur­ers for in­te­grat­ing ESG cri­te­ria in­to their busi­ness process­es. 

Sus­tain­able fi­nance aims to ful­fil sus­tain­abil­i­ty tar­gets through a tar­get­ed flow of funds. But it’s about more than just cli­mate-neu­tral in­vest­ment.

With their six in­di­ca­tors, the Swiss Cli­mate Scores cre­ate trans­paren­cy and pro­mote in­vest­ment de­ci­sions that con­tribute to achiev­ing cli­mate goals.

The test checks the port­fo­lios of fi­nan­cial com­pa­nies for their cli­mate com­pat­i­bil­i­ty in a cur­rent po­si­tion as­sess­ment us­ing the PACTA method. The re­sults of the third edi­tion are now avail­able.

The pro­por­tion of fi­nanc­ing so­lu­tions, as­sets and pre­mi­ums com­mit­ted to the net-ze­ro tar­get is in­creas­ing.
