The UN Environment Programme’s Principles for Sustainable Insurance Initiative (PSI), is hosting an event that will amplify sustainability action and ambition for the life & health insurance industry in this UN Decade of Action. The event will be hosted by Vitality, a PSI signatory company, and will run from 10:00 to 13:00 BST on Wednesday, 21 June 2023. In-person participation is by invitation only.  The event will be livestreamed on the UNEP FI YouTube channel. Click here to register for the livestream and add the event to your calendar.

In a post-COVID world increasingly impacted by climate change, nature loss, social inequality and the cost of living crisis, this event will feature the launch of a timely paper, “Health is our greatest wealth: How life & health insurers can drive better health outcomes and address the protection gap”. This paper is a collaborative effort by the PSI’s Life & Health Working Group—comprising 10 leading insurers and reinsurers from Africa, Asia, Europe and North America—co-led by HSBC Life and the UN, and supported by Ernst & Young LLP.

The programme will also include a CEO panel discussion, bringing together leading companies’ CEOs and other senior representatives from the insurance industry, in an engaging high-level panel discussion on the key sustainability challenges and opportunities for life & health insurers.
