Tag: We Are Guernsey

The fourth edition of Guernsey Finance’s Sustainable Finance Week kicked off with a keynote address from environmentalist and financier Ben Goldsmith, who reminded the audience: “There is a mystery in our connection with nature which has been lost on us, until we are bereaved or we are ill or we have some existential moment and then we suddenly find that nature is a lot more important to us than we thought.” 
Two panel sessions tackling the opportunities arising from net zero commitments in the insurance and funds sectors followed, with the Dignitary Address delivered by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission’s Co-Director of Authorisations and Innovation Division, Alison Gavey.    
If you missed the afternoon, here’s our round-up of some of the key themes discussed throughout the sessions.

Guernsey’s annual Champagne Reception in Monte Carlo plants the island’s insurance industry firmly in the centre of key discussions during Les Rendez-Vous de Septembre, the equivalent of Davos for the insurance industry. For 65 years Monaco has hosted the annual get together in Monte Carlo for all the major players in the global reinsurance and insurance market. The week also marks the beginning of the annual negotiation process prior to the renewal of reinsurance treaties, traditionally happening upon 31/12 or 1st January, which dictates pricing for protection from national catastrophes to personal lines of motor and household insurance.
