ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) in Insurance – Thematic Research

ESG can no longer be ignored

With significant evidence that sustainable companies are likely to be more profitable in the long run, the case for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) action is strong in every industry.

As institutional investors and underwriters of risk, insurers should use their size and influence to encourage ESG progress in other sectors. For insurers specifically, several trends will shape ESG strategies. These include the rise in global warming-induced severe weather events and COVID-19, which has worsened existing social inequalities. Insurance companies will need to tackle these issues to ensure sustainability.

Several tech trends are shaping ESG progress in the insurance industry. While the increased adoption of technology in the sector raises concerns over how data is used, technology also plays a role in assessing climate risk and improving insurance accessibility. These are two big ESG challenges insurers must tackle.

Underwriting and investment decisions will be the most impactful environmentally and socially. Withdrawing from carbon-intensive industries and developing products to close the natural catastrophe protection gap will improve the climate resilience of the global population. Divesting from industries with unethical practices and human rights violations will minimize insurers’ indirect social impact while encouraging investees to prioritize ESG.
