Adding Resilience (R) to ESG: Hybridising physics-based & machine-learning models to better model physical asset resilience
In recent years, insurance companies have expanded efforts to foster sustainability by incorporating environment (E), social (S), and governance (G) principles into their investment strategies and underwriting. Resilience (R) is not necessarily promoted with the same level of specificity due to modelling constraints. Combining physics-based models with machine-learning models can help the insurance industry to develop better business interruption and non-damage business interruption policies, while providing resilience-as-a-service (RaaS) platforms and analytics services for better risk prevention/preparedness. This presentation will discuss these modelling trends and how ESG can be supplemented with R to best protect policyholders and guide sustainable business.
