Conference session

Sustainability for better business performance

ICMIF Biennial Conference 2024

Sustainability has become one of the strategic imperatives for the entire insurance industry, influenced by growing market expectations, investor pressures and regulatory compliance. However, for many mutual/cooperative insurers, sustainability is more than adopting sustainable practices to drive positive environmental and social change – it is also good for business. This session showcases ICMIF members that have created business value from embedding a sustainability strategy, in terms of opportunities for product innovation and optimisation, better risk management, and a more resilient operating model.

Session speakers:

  • Belén Gómez, Advisor to the President and Coordinator U-RUS, Río Uruguay Seguros (Argentina)
  • Babs Dijkshoorn, Director, Sustainability, Achmea (Netherlands)
  • Chad Park, Vice President, Sustainability & Citizenship, Co-operators (Canada)
  • Kim Palatnick, Chief Strategy & Member Experience Officer, Wawanesa Insurance (Canada) moderator
