30 March 2023 — Daniela GHETU
Join Doris P?pplein, Senior Sustainability Analyst, and Dr. Annina Angstmann, Head P&C Solutions NCEE, from Swiss Re will outline, at the ESG IN INSURANCE Conference in Vienna, how sustainability could prove an opportunity for underwriting.

Swiss Re's Group Sustainability Strategy defines sustainability as a strategic, long-term value driver and embeds this approach throughout the company's re/insurance value chain. In their presentation, Doris P?pplein and Annina Angstmann will outline Swiss Re's Group Sustainability Strategy 2023-2025 and describe its main framework and ambitions. They will provide insights on how Swiss Re integrates sustainability considerations on portfolio and deal level to mitigate the downside risks and to embrace new opportunities addressing sustainability challenges.
When starting the sustainability journey, there are many questions to answer. Which part of my business is sustainable? In which areas can I make a difference? How big is my carbon footprint, and how does the transition to a low carbon economy affect my business? Solutions exist to help insurers understand their status quo and benchmark against the market. The presentation will explain how these insights can serve insurers as a basis for sustainability target-setting and for assessing different ways to fulfil their sustainability ambitions.
