CNseg is pleased to announce the publishing of another edition of its Social Responsibility and Sustainability Report on the insurance market. The results shown herein reveal the growing commitment of companies in the sector to the sustainable development of the business, in harmony with environmental, social and economic values. Transparency in our relations with the various audiences is one of the pillars guiding the conduct of the insurance companies, as represented here by the confederation. The commitment to sustainable development is really part of the DNA of the insurance business, whose mission is the protection of people and assets, while seeking overall equilibrium. This is reflected in the working environments of the companies in the sector: in the relations with employees, consumers, the market, government and society in general. That is why sustainability in the insurance sector is a strategic approach whereby all the activities in the value chain are conducted responsibly and with a view to the near future. This is one of the components of the Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI) laid down by the UNEP Finance Initiative UN-UNEP/FI. The development of this enhanced awareness among insurance companies of the importance of sustainability has been strongly reflected in employee relations. During 2013, the sector continued its efforts directed at the development and professional qualifications of its employees, through in-house training and encouragement to participate in technical and post-graduate courses. It should be noted that the Brazilian insurance industry was among the sectors that hired the most management level professionals last year. Another significant detail concerns the profile of the workforce in sector companies: women continue to increase their participation and now represent 56.4% of the sector’s total human resources.


With regard to society in general, the insurance companies have always sought to harmonize their activities with the aspirations of their customers and business partners, to understand risk and manage it effectively, adopting innovative solutions that help improve business performance, and thereby contribute to the sustainability of the planet. To this end, CNseg has encouraged and rewarded innovative initiatives that are focused on the sustainable development of the sector, through the Antonio Carlos de Almeida Braga Awards for Insurance Innovation. This posture has guided the action of the insurance industry as it seeks to fulfill its primary function of providing reliable high quality products and services, while taking into account the country’s socio-economic scenario. In this respect, the PSI are seen as a pioneering initiative in the discussion of key issues such as climate change, extreme weather and climate events, environmental degradation, access to insurance, an aging population, financial education, solid waste disposal, good governance and ethical business practices. We know there is still much to be done, but there can be no doubt that we are on the right track in adopting attitudes and taking action that will bring us ever closer to the goal of the sustainable development of the insurance industry, for the mutual benefit of our employees, customers, suppliers, partners and the environment of which we are all a part.

CNseg action to disseminate the

pSI

A groUp of InSUrerS participated in several meetings with CNseg’s Sustainability Committee during 2013, in order to develop a sustainability agenda for the insurance market. The main objective is for the discussions about the subject to generate greater interest on the part of Brazilian insurers in signing up to UNEP/FI’s Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI). The committee also has the task of developing new concepts and a more holistic view of risk for the insurance market, particularly in regard to the management of socio-environmental risk and improving the governance of companies in the sector. The initiative therefore ensures benefits for the market as a whole, but especially for companies that are on the committee and have the opportunity of participating in the discussions and assimilating the issues in their everyday operations. At an ordinary meeting on September 19, 2013, the CNseg Steering Committee approved four goals that had been proposed for the PSI by the Sustainability Committee, based on surveys conducted by CNseg, in partnership with BSD Consulting and the market’s leading insurance companies, to ensure that the goals can be achieved by 2015. The goals represent a commitment to tangible action to implement the PSI, by companies that are already signatories, and provide a stimulus for the non-signatory companies to start integrating the sustainability concepts within their operations.
