For an insurance company, the future is even more important than the present. Our long term viability depends on our ability to calculate risk based on what we believe will happen not now, but days, months and years from now. Long term thinking is critical to our success.
At IAG, sustainability is about bringing the future into today's decision making for the benefit of our business, customers and communities. Sustainability is not an add-on, or a program that is run alongside our operations. Instead, we see it as an outcome. We will be a sustainable business by managing all the dimensions - economic, social and environmental - of our businesses well.
