Global re/insurance group Chaucer has signed up to the UN Principles for Sustainable Insurance.
John Fowle, CEO of Chaucer, said: “Chaucer is proud to be a signatory of the UN Principles for Sustainable Insurance which provides a global framework for the insurance industry to address environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities. The framework plays a key role in ensuring all signatories are held to account and deliver the four PSI principles, including meeting net zero targets. Becoming a signatory reaffirms Chaucer’s commitment to playing a leading role in accelerating the transition to a net zero economy and helping our partners become more sustainable businesses.”
Developed through a partnership between risk management professionals and the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative, the PSI serves as a global framework for the re/insurance industry.
