Responsible investing in practice

Swiss Re is committed to investing its assets responsibly by integrating responsible investing aspects across the entire investment process in a controlled and structured way. Our responsible investing activities align with shareholder and return objectives.

Swiss Re Asset Management has been contributing to the Group’s purpose to make the world more resilient. This commitment is underpinned by our adherence to the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and our status as a signatory to the Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance (NZAOA).

Our Responsible Investing strategy is based on three pillars - Enhancement, Inclusion and Exclusion - while integrating climate considerations across all pillars. Climate considerations form an integral part of the Responsible Investing strategy, addressing climate-related risks through target setting and specific guidelines. Therefore, we have been setting interim five-year targets to guide and track progress.
