ESG and insurance

Practice Note: ESG and insurance—essentials considers the environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives, regulations and legislation that are relevant to (re)insurers and intermediaries.

Practice Note: ESG risks and liabilities for the insurance industry focuses on why (re)insurers and intermediaries need to address ESG risks.

Practice Note: Sustainable finance and ESG in the UK financial sector—FCA's priority areas sets out Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) priority areas in relation to sustainable finance and ESG issues, including its ESG strategy and its work in relation to climate-related disclosures, sustainability disclosure requirements (SDR) and investment labels (intended, among other things, to increase trust and combat greenwashing). It also covers the FCA’s involvement in international reporting standards and the FCA’s ESG-related supervisory priorities.
