It has an initial focus onnon-life insurance business—also known as property and casualty insurance business.This guide goes to the heart of implementing the Principles for Sustainable Insurance,particularly Principle 1: “We will embed in our decision-making environmental, social andgovernance issues relevant to our insurance business”. It builds on studies since 2007 onthe relevance of ESG issues to the insurance business that led to the development of thePSI, and subsequent studies and activities after the PSI was launched in 2012.
