Advisory
Services
The insurance sector is uniquely positioned to help people, businesses and the economy tackle the biggest challenges of our time - from climate change and natural resource management to infrastructure, public health, and beyond. Industry leaders will define and implement long-term strategies that improve their investment, underwriting and operational performance - while advancing societal solutions and thus enhancing their brand.
Our Services
Strategy
The majority of insurers report that they are either implementing or actively developing sustainability strategies, including with respect to climate change. We support strategy development based on client-specific internal and external data and analysis. We blend sustainability tools (e.g. materiality assessments) with the traditional strategy frameworks and metrics that companies already know and trust. This enables sustainability policies and programs that are rooted in - and evolve with - the core business, and therefore remain relevant.
Business Integration
Insurers report challenges integrating sustainability strategies into their core underwriting and investment business. We help clients align resources and key functions (operations and procurement, human resources, risk, finance, legal & compliance, product, underwriting and claims), build in-house capacity (via technology, staffing, professional development, etc.), create LoB /market -specific action plans, design and efficiently manage projects, and monitor performance.
Government & External Affairs
The sustainability agenda has broadened the issues and value at stake for government & external affairs functions. We help navigate insurance supervision and investment regulations, non-financial reporting frameworks, relevant market policies (e.g. building codes, renewable energy incentives, etc.) and more. In parallel, we help clients organize stakeholder engagement spanning customers, distribution partners, suppliers, investor groups, industry trades and councils, NGOs and beyond.
Marketing & Communications
To unlock value, sustainability should be tightly linked to brand management, product positioning, and marketing that is authentic, digital and audience-centric. We help clients with product collateral, risk research and publications, industry events, media relations, PR and social media campaigns, investor relations, voluntary reporting and third-party validation, and more.
Corporate Transactions
Sustainability can influence a variety of corporate transactions, from facilities and real estate management to procurement, finance and investment management, underwriting, retrocession and alternative risk transfer, venture capital and M&A, public-private partnerships, etc. We help clients design and execute transactions that advance their sustainability strategy and objectives.
