CM13D5 - The Sustainability Imperative For Health Insurance Providers
While property and casualty insurers and re-insurers are engaging on sustainability due to the physical risks posed by environmental issues such as climate change, health insurance companies have generally stayed on the sidelines. However, with the growing recognition of both the impacts of natural and built environments on health and sustainability's potential benefits for the healthcare industry as a whole, this is changing. This workshop will provide insight into the evolving insurance provider view of environmental sustainability as a business and health imperative, discuss ways the industry would like to contribute to the CleanMed community, and engage the audience in an important conversation around sustainable value creation in health care.
