The AMAN Union, in partnership with Swiss Re, is organizing an exclusive webinar on “ESG Sustainability Risk Management” to promote the adoption of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles within the insurance and reinsurance industry.
The session will bring together leading sustainability experts to discuss how insurers and reinsurers can better integrate ESG factors into their operations, particularly in the areas of export credit and investment insurance.
According to the organizers, the event aims to help AMAN Union members strengthen institutional capacity, improve risk assessment frameworks, and align with global sustainability standards. It forms part of the Union’s broader mission to support sustainable development and responsible business practices across the Islamic finance and insurance ecosystem.
Key speakers include Maren Bodenschatz, Senior Sustainability Manager at Swiss Re, and Ahmed Ayoub, Sustainability Risk Manager, who will share insights on current ESG trends, Swiss Re’s sustainability strategy, and practical examples of how ESG risks can be managed effectively in the insurance sector.
Highlighting the importance of the initiative, Mourad Mizouri, Secretary General of AMAN Union, said:
“Sustainability is no longer an optional agenda, it is a defining pillar of resilience, competitiveness, and trust in our industry. Through this collaboration with Swiss Re, we aim to empower our members to better understand and manage ESG risks, strengthen institutional frameworks, and contribute to a more sustainable and inclusive global economy.”
Founded in 2009, the AMAN Union serves as a professional forum for insurers and reinsurers across member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Arab Investment and Export Credit Guarantee Corporation (Dhaman). The Union promotes cooperation and knowledge sharing on risk management and insurance best practices within member countries.
The event underscores a growing recognition of ESG principles as critical to financial stability, corporate governance, and long-term growth across global and Islamic financial institutions.
