Transforming ESG Challenges into Opportunities: Enhancing Profitability in Commercial Insurance

20/11/2024 | Online Zoom Conferencing

Join us as we explore the growing pressure on the insurance industry to quantitatively evaluate, monitor, and disclose the ESG adequacy of commercial insured portfolios. In recent years, institutions, regulatory bodies, and the public have increased their demands for transparency. However, accessing ESG data and metrics, especially for SMEs, remains a significant challenge due to the lack of regulatory pressure and limited available information.

What practical solutions are available to overcome these challenges? And how can they be transformed into opportunities?

Discover how you can access ESG data and improve the profitability of your commercial portfolio by leveraging the proven correlation between ESG factors and loss ratios, while contributing to the insurance industry’s broader sustainability goals.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this session, delegates will be able to:

  • Explain how to integrate a sustainability assessment into the commercial underwriting processes without involving the client in a tedious ESG questionnaire
  • Describe which ESG data and key indicators are accessible, and how to determine their correlation with the insurance risk based on real case studies
  • Outline how to improve loss ratio by underwriting more sustainable and ESG-compliant businesses
