Michaella KOLLER, General Director, Insurance Europe and Matti Leppälä, Secretary General, CEO, PensionsEurope have confirmed their presence as speakers at the second edition of the ESG IN INSURANCE Conference, to be held in Vienna, on 16 April.

As society is facing increasingly interconnected and complex ESG challenges, especially in the climate change context, the insurance industry cannot be a bystander and must play its role, mostly using its expertise in risk management.

Members of the Insurance Europe federation form together Europe’s largest institutional investor, with an investment portfolio exceeding EUR 11 trillion. PensionsEurope member organizations cover different types of workplace pensions for over 110 million people. As such, PensionsEurope represents more than EUR 7 trillion of assets managed for future pension payments. As such, incorporating ESG criteria in insurers’ and pensions providers’ investment policies is of utmost importance. How much can they help and how much their business may be impacted by this are question to which the conference speakers will answer.

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.
