The prestigious Reactions London Market Awards, organised by Reactions magazine on the basis of votes cast by insurance and reinsurance market professionals, were held in London on 30 June 2011. Denis Kessler, Chairman & CEO of SCOR, was elected “Reinsurance Company CEO of the year”.

 

This award was made against the backdrop of the progress achieved and the initiatives launched by the SCOR group, which continues to follow its strategic “Strong Momentum” plan with the launch of a Lloyd’s syndicate, sustained organic growth, the anticipation of sovereign debt risks, the acquisition of the Transamerica Re portfolio, an active risk management policy that protects the Group from major natural catastrophes, the upgrade of the Group’s rating or the raising of its outlook by the four rating agencies, and so on.

 

 

Denis Kessler, Chairman & CEO of SCOR, said: “I would like to thank the insurance and reinsurance industry professionals who have given me this award, which rewards an entire Group and all of its teams. This award encourages SCOR to continue its strategy and its business model, which is based on four cornerstones: strong diversification, a solid franchise, a controlled risk appetite and optimal capital protection”.
