ACE believes that all of us have a responsibility to safeguard the planet.  The well-being of society depends on its ability to provide for its citizens in a healthy environment—a goal which we believe can be achieved through a sustainable balance between development and preservation.

Our companies provide clients with insurance and reinsurance protection from the impact of natural catastrophes, including weather events that may become more frequent or severe due to climate change. We continue to develop new risk management products for clients concerned about climate-related risks to their businesses. 

Our Environmental Report outlines many of the measures we are taking to address environmental concerns.  For example:

• We are exploring innovative ways to engage with our policyholders and other constituencies in managing climate change risk.
• We support scientific-based research to enhance a modeling response to climate change, and we participate in a number of leading environmental information forums.
• ACE is an industry leader in developing insurance products and risk management services that facilitate market-based solutions to current and pending environmental and climate-related issues.
• Through modeling, pricing mechanisms, and hedging our portfolio of catastrophe risk, ACE mitigates its exposure to climate change and therefore increases the amount of protection we can make available to our clients.

Climate change affects everyone – our customers, our employees and their families, and our shareholders. That’s why ACE is focused on the implications of climate change for all areas of our business and is taking action across the Company, internally and externally, to make a positive and lasting difference.
