To My Younger Self,

Let me give you some advice that you will only fully appreciate later in your career.

For more than a decade, this Paris based event has gathered the insurance and reinsurance community for a morning of solidarity at the Bois de Boulogne, with 10 km and 5 km races as well as a “Marche du Cœur,” and a connected challenge that extends participation beyond race day.

The SCORWay is our practical guide for how we work together every day at SCOR. Created with input from employees across the organization, it reflects the values that genuinely matter to our people, not a top‑down mandate, but a shared foundation shaped by those who live it. These five values: Collaboration, Care, Integrity, Courage, and Open Minds help guide our actions, decisions, and the way we support one another. And when we look at how these values show up in real situations across the company, collaboration is often one of the clearest examples.

Where it all begins: growing between worlds
