Building societal resilience

Disaster resilience refers to offering risk transfer, solutions and investments¹ relating to the management of large risk events (natural catastrophes and manmade disasters) impacting physical assets (eg property and infrastructure), supply chains and communities. Losses from floods, storms, earthquakes and other natural catastrophes can affect millions of lives and the economies of entire countries. Providing effective re/insurance protection for losses from natural catastrophes represents a business opportunity while generating significant benefits for our clients and for society at large.

Financial inclusion refers to both household financial and healthcare protection. Household financial protection includes risk transfer solutions¹ that protect future earnings needed to sustain an individual and/or their household/ business. Healthcare protection includes risk transfer solutions that support healthcare delivery costs and encourage preventative healthcare measures.

Through our engagement with clients and partners, we aim to make personal lines in life, health, property and casualty insurance more available, accessible and affordable to underserved populations, such as vulnerable individuals, the self-employed and small businesses.² Supporting our clients and partners in tapping into these new client segments offers business opportunities for Swiss Re while helping our clients and partners to reduce the protection gap.
