OVERVIEW
The “Insuring Disaster” benchmark series, initiated in 2018 by ShareAction, assesses the responsible investment and underwriting practices of the world’s largest insurers. The series aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of how these insurers address critical environmental and social issues, including climate change, biodiversity, and human rights.
The methodology involves ranking insurers based on a set of key standards that measure their performance in these areas. The series serves as a tool for finance professionals to benchmark their organisations against industry standards and identify areas for improvement. It also assists in informing decision-making processes related to selecting insurers or shaping internal policies.
This benchmark is designed to help finance professionals understand the broader implications of insurance practices on sustainability and to encourage a shift towards more responsible and ethical investment and underwriting strategies.
