ESG: Insurance
Our experts provide strategic support for ESG-related issues, including environmental incidents, renewables, social issues, and regulatory compliance. We also offer comprehensive advice on policy wording, coverage, diversity, and AI.
Overview
Understanding ESG issues is of critical importance for the insurance industry, and the risks involved are complex, interconnected and constantly changing. Our experts work collaboratively with our clients to provide strategy, support, and creative business solutions in response to the full spectrum of ESG-related issues.
On environmental risks, we advise our (re)insurer clients on environmental incidents and litigation around the globe (see our climate change litigation map). Our experience spans complex coverage issues and representation of (re)insurers in litigation and arbitration. We have a team specialising in renewables and energy transition, and we advise on the risks associated with this sector, including adaptation of policy wordings and the full range of coverage issues, from BI and DSU to product liability and subrogated recoveries.
We also advise on a broad spectrum of social issues, from class actions and diversity and inclusion to political violence.
Our specialist regulatory team provides a full-service offering, including product design, compliance, AI and InsurTech, data protection, and investigations.
Informed Insurance sits at the heart of our insurance offering and draws together unique insights for the industry. It contains a wealth of information on ESG topics and interactive climate change litigation and social inflation guides.
