Doris PÖPPLEIN, Senior Sustainability Analyst, and Dr. Annina ANGSTMANN, Head P&C Solutions NCEE, Director, Swiss Re Solutions, Switzerland will address the Disaster Risk Resilience topic in the ESG context at the upcoming ESG IN INSURANCE Conference, in Vienna, on 16 April.

Disaster Risk Resilience and ESG considerations are increasingly intertwined in the modern business landscape. As companies navigate the complexities of a changing world marked by climate change, natural disasters, and social challenges, integrating disaster risk resilience into ESG frameworks has become imperative.

Insurers play a pivotal role by providing financial protection and risk mitigation services to individuals, businesses, and communities. By integrating ESG considerations into their operations, insurers not only assess and manage environmental and social risks but also uphold governance standards that prioritize ethical conduct and transparency. This holistic approach enables insurers to proactively identify, assess, and mitigate risks associated with natural disasters, climate change, and societal challenges, thereby enhancing their resilience and sustainability. Moreover, by aligning their strategies with ESG principles, insurers contribute to building more resilient communities and fostering sustainable development, while also safeguarding their own long-term viability and reputation in an increasingly volatile world.

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.

More details on the conference, as well as online registration are available on the conference website.
