Sustainable Framework

Our governance system fully integrates social and environmental issues, as well as a range of other corporate social responsibility (CSR) concerns. It is founded on five pillars:

  1. a general reference framework, which includes our mission statement, the global initiatives to which we adhere, as well as theme-specific internal guidelines and operational standards (e.g. our Code of Conduct, Climate Policy, Sustainable Investment Policy, Anti-Corruption Policy and ESG Underwriting guidelines).
  2. a structured governance framework, overseen by the Board of Directors with input from its specialized committees – in particular the Corporate Social and Societal Responsibility and Environmental Sustainability Committee, the Risk Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compensation and Nomination Committee 
  3. integrated initiatives laid out in annual action plans 
  4. a risk management system that builds on our analysis and monitoring of megatrends and their associated risks 
  5. a framework of performance conditions for variable compensation indexed to CSR criteria.

Our annual CSR action plan covers a range of topics, including relations with the Group’s stakeholders, the integration of environmental, social and governance concerns into reinsurance and investment activities, environmental performance with regard to our operations, and the areas covered by the #WorkingWellTogether program. #WorkingWellTogether is a staff-led initiative that comprises all of SCOR’s staff-led actions relating to of wellbeing, diversity, inclusion and societal engagement.

Integrating ESG Issues 

SCOR is squarely focused on society’s key environmental, social and governance (ESG) challenges. Our teams systematically identify, analyze and assess megatrends and emerging risks, looking at them also from the perspective of development opportunities. We help to build resilience through risk identification, analysis, transfer and sharing.

Good governance plays a crucial role in achieving our strategic objectives and contributing to the resilience of societies. SCOR has an integrated governance system that considers the environmental, social and governance-related impacts, risks and opportunities of the Group’s business activities.
