We care about our future

We care about our future and understand that we must always consider the consequences that today’s actions could have on tomorrow.

Safeguarding the future of our company and society

Sustainability is about how we do business. We use our expertise as a risk manager to enhance resilience to natural, societal, economic and financial risks. That is why we have integrated sustainability across our business globally.

For us, sustainability is not just an urgent global imperative but also a significant business opportunity.

As customer expectations evolve and the demand for social and environmental engagement grows, sustainability becomes a driver for value creation. Our purpose – to create a brighter future together – inspires us to leverage our role as a global insurer, risk manager, and investor to scale positive impacts for our customers, people, and the planet.

By empowering individuals and organizations to act today, we aim to build partnerships that drive transformative change for a sustainable future.

We have identified three focus areas to scale our impact and our role in society:

Planet

Responding to accelerating risks by proactively supporting the climate transition through engagement, climate solution investments and aligning our operations and portfolios with net-zero

Customer

Supporting a more resilient future together with our customers by growing insurance and advisory solutions that support environmental and societal resilience.

People

Supporting our people to perform at their best, and remain employable for the long-term, while addressing the needs of our customers and communities.
