Agreement for international responsible investment in the insurance sector

Sector organisations in the insurance sector, civil-society organisations and the Dutch government have signed the IRBC agreement on international responsible investment in the insurance sector. The agreement helps to clarify the international chain and thus prevent and tackle such issues as human rights violations, environmental damage, and animal suffering.

Why this agreement?

With the new agreement, Dutch insurers are the first in the world in this sector to enter into a broader and more ambitious agreement that addresses issues relating to the environment and social aspects such as corporate governance.

Approach

Insurers are expected to carry out an effective assessment of the risks and where necessary to adjust their policy accordingly.

Who are the signatories to the agreement?

Various organizations will contribute to achieving the objectives of the agreement.
