Sustainability

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

Our lives in 2020 are dom­i­nat­ed by the coro­na cri­sis. Nonethe­less, sus­tain­abil­i­ty and re­form of the pen­sion sys­tem re­main cen­tral chal­lenges that we must con­tin­ue to ad­dress.

Fi­nan­cial sec­tor wel­comes the Fed­er­al Coun­cil’s re­port and guide­lines on sus­tain­abil­i­ty in the fi­nan­cial sec­tor.

The Swiss in­sur­ance in­dus­try has had a suc­cess­ful year – pre­mi­um vol­umes in both non-life and life in­sur­ance rose again in 2019.

Once more, Swiss pri­vate in­sur­ers show ef­fi­cient per­for­mance and sta­bil­i­ty in 2018.
