以ESG为抓手,力求可持续发展,负责任经营
Act for Sustainable Development and Responsible Operation by the Implementation of ESG
今年将是安盛天平启动ESG的元年。这个集合了环境 Environment、社会Social和治理Governance三大理念的词汇已经成为全球炙手可热的焦点。顾名思义,ESG涉及到一家企业的方方面面,从环境友好到社会责任,从独善其身到兼济天下。从狭义上来说,ESG 主要选取非财务信息作为考量,不过分纳入传统财务指标;但在广义层面,ESG 则涉及公司经营发展过程中的每一个环节触点。
在中国,政府在推动碳达峰、碳中和战略目标上不遗余力。我坚信保险业是可以通过与社会各界的通力合作来助力双碳目标实现、推进经济社会可持续发展的。作为一家全球领先的外资险企,安盛集团以身作则,去年牵头联合八家全球性保险和再保险公司成立了“净零保险联盟”,并对外做出七项承诺:
#1 减少碳排放
#2 到2023年,实现 250亿欧元的绿色投资目标
#3 忧客户所忧,大力发展可持续发展业务模式
#4 2050年实现碳中和
#5 为员工、合作伙伴、供应商提供与“气候变化”议题相关的培训
#6 开发普惠金融保险产品如绿色保险产品
#7 承担大企应担责任,致力于将 ESG核心理念与标准全面融入管理体系中
其实,远在ESG落地中国之前,我们早已身体力行“守护生命之本,践行人类进步”的品牌承诺:无论是在公益领域“爱佑X安盛童乐园”的尝试和突破,还是连续多年为光伏发电和农业种植等提供气候指数保险,以“保险+科技+场景”模式破局保险业应对气候变化议题,我们通过对品牌承诺的践行,完成了在ESG领域的早期探索。今年,我们将更好地响应集团ESG倡议,力求稳健透明经营,在双碳时代继续发挥保险之力,保障人民、企业和社会的长久利益。
This year, we will officially activate ESG implementation, which is one of the priorities on the company’s agenda. Referring to Environmental factors, Social factors and Governance when measuring the sustainability and ethical impact of a business and a company, ESG has become THE ‘It Word” worldwide. From a narrow perspective, ESG focuses mainly on non-financial performance without excessively incorporating traditional financial indicators; but in a broader sense, ESG involves every touchpoint of the company’s business operation and development.
We have witnessed national’s unprecedented and unwavering efforts in reaching duo-carbon target recently. It is my belief that by working with the community and the industry, we definitely can make our share of contribution. As a global leading insurer, AXA Group has led by example and established “Net-Zero Insurance Alliance” with 8 leading insurers and reinsurers last year, while announcing publicly 7 commitments below:
#1 Reduce the carbon footprint of our portfolio
#2 Increase our green investment to reach 25 billion euros by 2023
#3 Address client concerns and steer underwriting efforts towards sustainable business models
#4 Become carbon neutral in 2050
#5 Training on climate change for all our employees and tied agents
#6 Develop products providing insurance benefits to vulnerable populations with an inclusive target
#7 Track our overall responsibilities and ESG performance
Actually, we have already realized some of our early practices of ESG strategy long before the ESG implementation in our company, expressed through the activation of our brand purpose “Act for Human Progress by Protecting What Matters”, reflected through our philanthropic efforts with Aiyou Foundation and our pioneering use of “Insurtech + Scenario” to address climate change, launching a series of climate index insurance products in Guangzhou as some early practices of ESG strategy. To better promote Group’s ESG call for action this year, we aim to address our impact on the environment and society and commit to a comprehensive ESG implementation for a safe, ethical and sustainable manner along the value chain, and strive to operate in a sustainable and transparent way together with our stakeholders, suppliers, partners, government, social institutions, customers, employees, taking environmental interests and other related core demands into consideration. This is how we act for human’s progress, and how we protect what really matters in the duo-carbon era.
