The insurance industry has been quick to recognise the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a driver of growth and sustainability. Zurich Insurance Group was very much a pioneer in CSR and has often been applauded for its well-considered approach. The Swiss insurer, a repeat winner in this category, decided early on that CSR deserved a place at the heart of its business model. According to the CFI.co judging panel, Zurich - conscious of its role in society - always seems determined to assess the impact of the business opportunities it considers, and consistently seeks out the right and honourable way to drive development. As with all efficient insurers, Zurich protects policy holders from risk, encourages the accumulation of wealth and funds long-term investment capital for the benefit of society. The panel regards Zurich as an exemplar of social value creation in its industry and is delighted to confirm the award Best Sustainable Insurer Switzerland 2018.
