The role of companies in global sustainability
Sustainability is more than a buzz word. It is the key principle and motivator for ensuring a more secure future. This discussion will examine what is meant by the word “sustainability”, what are companies’ responsibilities within the sustainability agenda, and how this translates into the mutual/cooperative insurance models and actions. Delegates are encouraged to join the online discussion to further reflect how high-level sustainability activities are influencing their own environments.
Panel discussion moderated by Sarah Goddard, Secretary General, AMICE.
- Giulia Balugani, Sustainability Manager, UNIPOL Sai, Italy

real action? The mutual sector are willing participants to drive the climate agenda in our businesses and this panel will showcase where we can engage.
