Why is it important?
Good corporate governance helps protect insurance companies from ESG risks. This helps keep these companies financially stable, especially in today's ever-changing and difficult business environment.
Perspectives
Insurers are increasingly playing a crucial role in promoting sustainable business practices by selectively underwriting companies based on their ESG performance and sustainability commitments. This shift is driving companies to prioritize sustainability initiatives to maintain access to insurance and manage their financial risks.
