SUSTAIN Festival 2026

What happens on the day of a flood? How do insurers respond? This talk will look at the instant response mechanisms of home insurers in flooding. In addition to supporting our customers, we look at how we deploy emergency aid, and the pitfalls we need to watch out for.

Finally we will explore some of the ways we help mitigate flooding, including our investment into natural flood management (NFM).

The conversation around carbon credits is rapidly shifting - from a compliance burden and necessary cost to a strategic asset that can strengthen your balance sheet, reduce future liabilities, and de-risk your Net Zero pathway.
In this webinar, we will break down Clyde & Co’s pioneering work championed by Nature Broking that enables the reframing of carbon credits from cost centres into recognisable assets. We’ll break down the commercial drivers, emerging legal frameworks, forward purchase strategies, and new models like Buyers Clubs that enable organisations to secure high integrity credits at lower risk.
Why attend?
You’ll walk away with a clear view of how leading organisations are:

• protecting themselves from rising mitigation costs and tightening standards
  
• transforming carbon credits from offsets into strategic assets
  
• using robust legal and accounting frameworks to create enterprise value
  
• positioning today’s mitigation investments as tomorrow’s competitive advantage
  

If you are a CSO, CFO, ESG executive, Sustainability Manager, or simply looking to turn sustainability into real enterprise value, this session is for you.

The PRA's SS 5/25 marks a step change in how insurers must identify and address climate risk.

• The key aspects of SS 5/25
  • Reorientation of governance to cater for climate risk

A webinar tackling the critical topic of how insurance can innovate to address rising insurability challenges. 

This session will include key statistics from Guy Carpenter's annual broker survey on how reinsurance markets are responding to climate change, and case studies of how resilience is being embedded into risk financing. Some examples will include Marsh’s collaboration with the World Economic Forum on insurability, as well as the recently issued resilience bond for North Carolina, which incorporates disaster-resilience features.
