Regulators globally are taking growing interest in sustainability issues by applying actions and requiring more scrutiny around ESG issues. Yet, the regulatory landscape at the EU level is uneven, with varying levels of commitment to ESG goals among different countries.

Prof. Ksenija DENCIC-MIHAJLOV, University of Nis, Serbia & Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, Center for Scientific Interdisciplinary Risk and Sustainability Management, Germany and Klime POPOSKI, CEO, Winner-VIG and Prof. at St. Kliment Ohridski University, North Macedonia have approached this topic at CEET level. Their presentation will summarize the results of the research on sustainability and ESG regulatory landscape in the CEET Region, assessing the status of the insurance regulations and/or initiatives promoting sustainable insurance growth in the CEET region.

The presentation gives an overview of the advancement of sustainability programs in national insurance markets and provide guidance to regulators, in conjunction with policymakers and stakeholders, on the development of sustainability and ESG frameworks.

IIF 2024 – ESG IN INSURANCE Conference is a top-level environment for exchanging business insights on the future outlook for the insurance industry and how it will be shaped by sustainability, technological, regulatory and distribution drivers. The conference will focus on some of the main aspects that incorporating ESG goals may have on insurers’ business, both as risk undertakers and strategic investors. Incorporating ESG goals both in insurance underwriting and shaping insurers’ investment policies, especially in challenging context created by the climate change are among the main topics, as well as the regulatory approach.

The conference works will be chaired by Prof. Karel Van HULLE, Professor, KU Leuven - Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany.
