Climate and environmental challenges give rise to new risks and opportunities for the insurance industry. Integrating sustainable solutions into our core activities and strategy is vital to value creation in the long term.
Gjensidige defines sustainability in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This means that Gjensidige’s activities shall help to strike a balance between climate and environmental considerations, social conditions, good corporate governance and finances, to ensure that future generations have the same ability to meet their needs as we do today.
Our social mission and responsibility have been key factors in the emergence of the modern welfare society.
