SESSION III | SUSTAINABILITY, COLLABORATION AND INNOVATION: UNLOCKING POTENTIAL
 
KEYNOTE
09:15-09:45
Setting the stage for green investment

The insurance industry is Europe’s largest institutional investor and provides stable, long-term funding for both governments and business. With over €10trn (or circa €9.5trn) of assets, the European insurance sector has emerged as leading green investor in recent years. To fully capitalise on this investment potential, insurers need the right regulatory environment. How does the mutual/cooperative insurance sector:

  • ensure unnecessary regulatory barriers are removed to fully capitalise on green investment potential?
  • support economic growth and tackle climate change?
  • meet the EU commitment to becoming carbon neutral by 2050?
 
PANEL DISCUSSION
09:45-10:30
Sustainability, collaboration and innovation: unlocking potential

Mutual/cooperative insurers have been leading the industry on sustainability initiatives in recent years. At the same time, Europe has been leading the world in terms of legislation designed to take sustainability to a genuinely impactful level, encouraging innovative and transparent approaches while identifying and constructing standards to eliminate negative impacts such as greenwashing.

The panel will discuss:

  • What is the insurance industry’s responsibility for creating a sustainable future for wider society?
  • The relationship between policymakers and the industry for workable and accountable solutions
  • Is there a deeper role for mutual/cooperative insurers?
  • How workable is the European legislative programme, and does it deliver on its objectives, does it stifle innovation
