At a recent Insurance Post roundtable in partnership with CRIF, leading insurers and ESG specialists explored how the industry is translating sustainability goals into measurable progress and what it will take to keep that momentum in tougher times.

The industry is moving beyond promises to deliver real, measurable progress on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals:

- ESG is now core business and a key measure of performance.
- From ambition to action: Companies are helping customers, especially SMEs, turn good intentions into practical steps. 
- Commercial advantage: ESG isn’t just about ethics; it’s driving better business outcomes. 
- Resilience and credibility: Despite shifting regulations and market uncertainty, insurers remain committed. The focus is on risk management, reliable data, and supporting clients through real-world challenges like climate change.

This article provides a summary of the discussion.
