Global initiatives

Zurich expands the traditional role of insurance by addressing broader social challenges and change. 

Two efforts lead these global initiatives:

  • our Climate Initiative addresses climate change through a number of research and business activities.
  • our Microinsurance program seeks to provide responsible insurance solutions to low-income populations.

Perspective

Our perspectives on issues affecting insurers and the insured are developed based on experience, research and active participation in global forums.

Catch up on risk management at the World Economic Forum, or see available reports and presentations and the current edition of Industry Insight.
