Sustainability Transition
Implications for Natural Resource Industries
As sustainability becomes a global imperative, natural resource industries are under growing scrutiny from investors, regulators, and insurers. With ESG factors now at the forefront of underwriting decisions, organisations face new challenges in protecting value and securing adequate coverage.
Our latest whitepaper explores how the sustainability transition is reshaping risk and insurability and what businesses can do to prepare.
What’s Inside the Paper:
- ESG scrutiny intensifies: Investors and insurers are closely assessing ESG performance, with weaker credentials risking reduced coverage and capacity.
- Digitalisation brings new risks: AI, automation, and robotics introduce emerging exposures, including cyber threats, data privacy concerns and operational disruption.
- Evolving risk landscape: Insurers now expect stronger compliance, transparency and ethical oversight across all business practices.
- Insurance market response: D&O liability, cyber and operational risks are all under tighter review, with ESG disclosures influencing underwriting decisions.
Why it matters
No industry is untouched by the transition to sustainability, but natural resources face unique challenges. Organisations need to anticipate ESG demands, strengthen resilience, and adapt with confidence to the transition.
