Anyone listening to this podcast over the past couple of years can’t have failed to notice the way that Environmental, Social and Governance or ESG has moved quite quickly to the top of the industry agenda.
Taking into consideration the Environmental Social and Governance impacts of all of our customers, all of our investments, all of our suppliers and all of our own activities is something that may be a little too much more many of us in the industry to get our heads around.
Once regulators get involved, and it is only a matter of time before they do, ESG will become the biggest potentially existential threat to insurers since the implementation of Solvency II.
That’s why it is important to seek expert advice.
And that’s why I am delighted to introduced Miqdaad Versi, a principal at Oxbow Partners.
Oxbow Partners is a management consultancy specialising in the insurance industry.
And Miqdaad focuses on insurance, reinsurance and ESG and sustainability and has authored a first-of-its-kind report on ESG in conjunction with the Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA).
This podcast lays out his credentials as well as the scale of the problem.
If you have been too scared even to start thinking about what to do about the enormous ESG challenge ahead, this is an excellent place to begin.
Miqdaad is smart, eloquent and passionate on this topic. He’s also very optimistic that the insurance sector has the skills to navigate ESG’s threats as well as to be able to make the most of the huge opportunities that it is going to throw up.
This podcast is also full to the brim of useful information and easy-to-follow advice.
