Opinion Article by David Sousa in “Ambiente Magazine”
Given the current climate emergency scenario, David Sousa warns in “Ambiente Magazine”, a specialised magazine on sustainability and ecology issues, about the severe impacts of these extreme events on organisations and the civil society. According to his view, “in the business context, environmental risk management is no longer just a good practice, but a factor of resilience and sustainability of the organisations themselves”.
The Director of SEMPER reflects on how the insurance sector can help to guarantee the protection of companies through agile and effective solutions, stating that “responses may take into consideration not only the variability of events but also their impact on specific economic activities, among which I highlight agriculture, transport or construction, areas that are especially vulnerable and dependent on the unpredictability of climate. It is in this uncertain situation that parametric insurance, a customised solution created through indexation to specific metrics and indicators, becomes crucial.
