Insurance Companies

The insurance companies have enormous leverage for sustainability. As important investors, they have the opportunity to direct the capital they manage into ESG investments and to protect companies that operate sustainably. This allows them to use market knowledge and economic power to transform “light green” aspirations into sustainable, positive social or environmental impact.


There is further potential in their core business of product design if, for example, insurers offer higher benefits to those customers who choose repairs instead of replacements in the event of damage, or choose particularly sustainable products when purchasing new ones. Point systems and reduced contribution payments can provide incentives for a sustainable lifestyle in everyday life. Insurance companies are impact companies themselves. Hedging against risks is of almost existential social and social importance for companies, but especially for private customers and families.
