Title: Green Insurers: Assessment of the Practices of the P C Industry to Go Green and the Impacts upon Key Stakeholders Authors: Connecticut Chapter CPCU Volume: 16 Number: 4 Issue: Fall 2009 Page: 55 Abstract: Global warming is a fact. However, the magnitude, duration, causes, and cures are debatable, as are the risks insurers face with climate change. Many businesses, including property and casualty insurers, are taking steps to "go green." Indeed, some insurers are increasing internal management of resources to reduce the companys carbon footprint, some are developing new products that encourage and/or protect insured customers green investments. Some also are offering additional employee benefits to encourage "green" behaviors. This study examines the key reputational and operational risks for insurers, the actions insurers are taking, and the to-date reactions by key stakeholders-customers, employees, investors, and business partners.
