During a Brown Bag Seminar at Cambridge Innovation Center, Stephen Dishart, Managing Director, Corporate Communications & HR and Head, Americas Communications at Swiss Re, talked about climate change and the role of Swiss Re facing this major global problem.
Swiss Re is a leading and highly diversified global reinsurer and offers financial services products that enable risk taking essential to enterprise and progress. Stephen Dishart pointed out why climate change is such a main issue in the daily business of Swiss Re. Understanding the risk, developing products & services for
mitigation and adaptation, never stopping the risk dialogue and advocacy as well as addressing its own Carbon footprint are so much in the focus of the company that many nice projects and programs jumped out of this spirit which are helping to keep our world greener and safer.
The distinguished speech and the highly interesting discussion showed very well the innovative approach of a Swiss company tackling the probably main problem of the near future.
