SCOR Singapore, in collaboration with Howden and Charles Taylor, has launched Project INmersABILITY to champion disability inclusion within the (re)insurance sector. This groundbreaking six-month pilot program kicked off in July of this year, aiming to address the underrepresentation of People with Disabilities (PWD) in the (re)insurance industry.

The initiative is the first of its kind: a six-month rotational program that places a person with disability across three companies to offer a holistic view of the industry.

Dear Eric,

You are about to embark on a journey that will take you far from home – across continents, cultures, and countless new experiences. If I could offer you some guidance from the future, here’s what I would want you to know.

First, embrace the unknown. When you land in Singapore, everything will feel unfamiliar. Don’t shy away from it – lean in. The ability to adapt quickly and remain open to new ways of working will become one of your greatest strengths. Every new environment is an opportunity to learn, not just about business, but about yourself.

What does it mean for a global reinsurer to truly invest in a sustainable future? At SCOR, we believe that tackling the world's biggest challenges starts with understanding them.

Dear Younger Self,

If I could sit across from you now – wide-eyed, ambitious, and perhaps a little unsure – I’d start by saying: you’re going to be just fine. But more than that, you’re going to grow in ways you can’t yet imagine, and your journey will take turns that you would have never considered. While I won’t spoil the journey, I do want to share a few truths that I wish I had understood earlier.

(Re)insurance inherently is an international industry. To maintain stability and ensure the ability to pay claims, companies need portfolios diversified with risks from around the world. This global scope creates opportunities for international mobility within the industry. One such opportunity allowed Jimmy Pimentel to move from Brazil to the US, fulfilling his dream of living abroad in a country full of potential.

At SCOR, June is more than just the start of the summer; it is a time when our teams all over the world come together to make a tangible difference in the communities we call home. This annual initiative, now in its fourth year, is a vibrant testament to The SCOR Way, showcasing how our core purpose of contributing to the resilience of societies extends far beyond our (re)insurance solutions.

In 2011, SCOR took a step toward deepening our commitment to advancing scientific knowledge and understanding of long-term risks by establishing the SCOR Foundation for Science. The mission was clear: to support rigorous academic research in risk-related fields and to anticipate the challenges and solutions of tomorrow.
