HOW DOES SCOR ENSURE THAT ALL EMPLOYEES FEEL VALUED AND INCLUDED? S.K. At SCOR, we actively seek and embrace diversity of backgrounds as we believe that this is a strong enabler of performance and innovation. This can only be achieved through a culture of inclusion that encourages everyone to be curious and open-minded, continuously learning and working collaboratively, showing care toward others and feeling empowered to call out non-inclusive behaviors. We have cemented these foundational principles into our SCOR Way values of Care, Integrity, Courage, Open Minds, and Collaboration. CAN YOU SHARE SOME EXAMPLES OF HOW SCOR SUPPORTS CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND ADVANCEMENT FOR UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS? S.K. Relying on social sustainability metrics to identify our areas of improvement, we put in place targeted actions designed to support specific talent groups. To support the advancement of women at SCOR, we designed a roadmap using multiple levers such as targets in recruitments and succession plans. We were able to increase the representation of women at senior levels from 19% in 2021 to 32% by the end of 2024, reaching our target for 2026 two years in advance. Our efforts to support underrepresented groups also focus on younger and future generations of talent to rebalance talents pools. In most countries, SCOR has introduced outreach programs, working with schools and charities, designed to support communities and accelerate educational and professional development. HOW DOES SCOR ENGAGE WITH EXTERNAL COMMUNITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS TO PROMOTE SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY BEYOND THE COMPANY? S.K. Sustainability is at the heart of who we are and what we do at SCOR. We deeply believe that we have a role to play to protect and positively impact not only ecosystems but also the communities around us. SCOR takes part in various industry networks and initiatives accelerating social sustainability in the (re)insurance and financial services sectors. In France, SCOR currently co-chairs the insurance section of Financi’elles and, in the UK, SCOR is one of the main sponsors of the Insurance Women Inclusivity Network, both cross-company networks working to improve gender inclusion. SCOR also contributes to the Dive In Festival, a worldwide movement promoting positive workplace cultures. “We deeply believe that we have a role to play to protect and positively impact not only ecosystems but also the communities around us.” SABRINA KRUSE Group Head of Diversity, Inclusion, and Engagement CONTRIBUTOR INTERVIEW S.K.
