This report examines the long-term economic health and resilience of the insurance industry and how material ESG factors must be systematically integrated into underwriting guidelines and product development, and other core insurance processes such as investment management, claims management and sales & marketing. It articulates the insurance industry's assessment that the societal response to managing the global, long-term and systemic risks posed by many ESG factors is underdeveloped.
