Group Sustainability Strategy
Through our Group Sustainability Strategy, we aim to address sustainability challenges and seize sustainability-related opportunities, thereby helping to achieve Swiss Re’s purpose to make the world more resilient.
Sustainability has been a strategic priority for Swiss Re for many years. We manage sustainability impacts, risks and opportunities and embed sustainability across our underwriting, investments and operations. We also ensure that sustainability is appropriately reflected in our governance. Read about our sustainability journey in our milestones overview.
Sustainability is an integral part of the Group Built to lead strategy. Based on the results of our materiality assessment, Swiss Re's Group Sustainability Strategy 2026-2028 has defined two sustainability ambitions: building societal resilience and supporting the net-zero transition.

Building societal resilience
Swiss Re’s ambition to build societal resilience aims at enhancing disaster resilience and access to life and health protection. Through this ambition, Swiss Re addresses the topics of climate change adaptation, natural catastrophe protection and life and health protection.
This ambition focuses on:
- Growing profitable natural catastrophe business over the underwriting cycle to support disaster resilience.
- Growing profitable business with cedents to enhance access to life and health protection.
Supporting the net-zero transition
The ambition to support the net-zero transition reflects our commitment to Group-wide net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Our Climate Transition Plan outlines how we aim to address climate change mitigation by managing our underwriting and investment portfolios, decarbonising our operations and jointly working with clients, investees and suppliers to support them in doing the same.
This ambition focuses on:
- Further evolving our Climate Transition Plan
- Making progress towards interim climate targets across assets, liabilities and operations
