Abstract

Launched in 2012, the Principles for Sustainable Insurance serve as a global framework for the insurance industry to address environmental, social, and governance risks and opportunities. This report presents the findings of an exploratory study looking at the influence of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks on surety underwriting. Our findings come from a global survey of the insurance industry that sought to understand whether and how insurance and reinsurance companies are integrating ESG risks into the surety underwriting of infrastructure projects.
