Head of Sustainability Strategy

Our main long-term commitments relate first to climate change, with the objective to become Net Zero by 2050, following science-based pathways, on both underwriting and investments. They relate also to biodiversity with the objective to reverse biodiversity loss on investments by 2030. Those strategic long-term commitments drive our sustainability roadmap on a shorter-term basis. On our own operations, we target to reach net zero emissions by 2030.

Our second long-term objective related to promoting gender diversity, and a nurturing working environment for all our people.
