The Insurance Development Forum becomes a Supporting Institution of the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI)

The Insurance Development Forum (IDF) is pleased to announce its commitment to the UNEP FI Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI) by becoming a supporting institution. 

Launched at the 2012 UN Conference on Sustainable Development, the UNEP FI Principles for Sustainable Insurance serves as a global framework for the insurance industry to address environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities.

The principles are aligned with the vision and mission of the IDF and reflect a strategic and focused approach to informing the work of the IDF as it seeks to optimize and extend the use of insurance and its related risk management capabilities to build greater resilience and protection for people, communities, businesses, and public institutions that are vulnerable to disasters and their associated economic shocks.
