We are proud to be part of HRH The Prince of Wales’ The Sustainable Markets Initiative’s (SMI) Insurance Task Force. Today, the SMI has published a ‘Sustainable Products and Services Showcase’ – a useful summary of insurance products which help support our customers through the transition to a greener, net zero future. At Hiscox, we are pleased to play our part in this – whether that is through insuring green energy projects, or by improving access to flood insurance for homes and businesses. Find out more below.
A great summary of the fascinating work our Claims team's do every day.
Our 2021 Climate Report, shows another year of progress in how we consider (and look to limit) our environmental impact – the ‘E’ in ESG. In underwriting and investments, we’ve committed to reduce steadily, and eventually eliminate, our exposure to areas including thermal coal, oil sands, and Arctic energy exploration (starting in the ANWR region). We’ve also signed up to the UN-convened Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), demonstrating our commitment to responsible investing, and have supported conservation and biodiversity as part of our total charitable donations last year of $9 million.
