Since the incorporation of Namibia National Reinsurance Corporation Ltd (NamibRe) in 2001, their primary business activity has always been reinsurance. Over the 18 years they’ve perfected their business operation and found ways to prepare for and manage business risks in a responsible and forward-looking way in order to lessen the impact.

NamibRe fully supports the projects and activities of the United Nations in particular (e.g. environmental, social, and governance issues that relate to climate change, natural disasters, ecosystems degradation, human rights violations, health risks, aging populations, financial exclusion, corruption).

For that reason, they find it necessary and beneficial to join institutions or organisations that promote sustainable development to learn from each other and utilize their combined efforts to make the world a better place. The global sustainability framework and initiative of UNEP FI will help organizations catalyze the kind of financial and investment flows and long-term perspectives needed for sustainable development.

Their participation in this initiative speaks to their understanding of the impact that climate change has on their business operations and the environments in which they operate. They aim to align their operations and strategy to promote a sustainable future.
