ClimateWise
ClimateWise is the collaborative insurance initiative through which members aim to work together to respond to the myriad risks and opportunities of climate change.
Our international membership covers Europe, North America and Southern Africa and all members commit to action, individually and collectively, against the ClimateWise Principles:
- Lead in risk analysis
- Inform public policy making
- Support climate awareness amongst our customers
- Incorporate climate change into our investment strategies
- Reduce the environmental impact of our business
- Report and be accountable
ClimateWise welcomes expressions of interest from insurers around the world as our membership continues to expand.
"This is just the beginning of the process of real change. Time is a luxury we do not have and I urge companies both at home and internationally to sign the ClimateWise principles and take the necessary action." HRH The Prince of Wales
