As the financing of green and sustainability-linked loans continues to grow as an important tool to address the challenges presented by global climate change, the private insurance market is in turn needing to evolve in order to meet the shared challenges and opportunities.

With the past few months having seen various regulatory and loan market changes, and with expectation that financing more closely aligned with ESG principles will become more common in the insurance market, Lee Garvey (Executive Director, Head of Financial Solutions for Australia & New Zealand, Willis Towers Watson), Matthieu Le Bret (Managing Director, Head of Asset Distribution, Asia Pacific, Nord LB) and Régis Roche (Regional Head, Asia Pacific, Transactional Cover Unit, Euler Hermesthis) shed light on how the landscape has changed for the CPRI market, with greater focus on borrower behaviour and the extent to which insurers - both established and some potential new market entrants - are placing sustainability objectives at the heart of their strategy.
