Description

To meet the EU’s climate targets and help speed up society’s transition to a net-zero economy, investments in sustainable activities are needed. As long-term investors with an overall balance sheet of around €8 trillion, insurers in the European Economic Area (EEA) can play a significant role in putting our economies on a more sustainable track.
