SCOR has been named “Reinsurer of the Year” for 2017 by InsuranceERM. InsuranceERM will present this distinguished award, which it announced yesterday on its website, at the upcoming ceremony at City Hall, in London, on 7 February.

 

InsuranceERM comments that “managing risk should be the very definition of a holistic activity and SCOR has demonstrated its excellence across an array of actions.” In particular, the publication recognizes SCOR’s “strong contribution to managing climate risk on both sides of the balance sheet,” with climate campaigners having “praised SCOR for making among the best efforts to disengage from the coal sector.” InsuranceERM states that SCOR’s strategy “ensures efficient protection of the Group’s stakeholders through a series of protection layers, including traditional retrocession, capital market solutions, solvency buffers and a contingent capital facility.”

 

SCOR continues to gain global recognition for its industry leadership; this award follows a series of recent achievements, including:
