Environment

The re­la­tion­ship be­tween cli­mate change and bio­di­ver­si­ty, why every com­pa­ny needs cli­mate-com­pat­i­ble strate­gies and how young em­ploy­ees can be used as a sound­ing board for sus­tain­abil­i­ty. 

At Build­ing Bridges, SVV part­nered with the Prin­ci­ples for Sus­tain­able In­sur­ance (PSI) to or­gan­ise a pan­el dis­cus­sion on sus­tain­abil­i­ty in un­der­writ­ing.

Sus­tain­able fi­nance aims to ful­fil sus­tain­abil­i­ty tar­gets through a tar­get­ed flow of funds. But it’s about more than just cli­mate-neu­tral in­vest­ment.

With their six in­di­ca­tors, the Swiss Cli­mate Scores cre­ate trans­paren­cy and pro­mote in­vest­ment de­ci­sions that con­tribute to achiev­ing cli­mate goals.

The test checks the port­fo­lios of fi­nan­cial com­pa­nies for their cli­mate com­pat­i­bil­i­ty in a cur­rent po­si­tion as­sess­ment us­ing the PACTA method. The re­sults of the third edi­tion are now avail­able.

Cli­mate change is ac­cel­er­at­ing and now af­fects all ar­eas of our lives. Gun­thard Nieder­bäumer ex­plains what in­sur­ers can and should do to slow down this trend.
