IMVO Convenant Verzekeringssector

Sector organisations in the insurance sector, civil-society organisations and the Dutch government have signed the IRBC agreement on international responsible investment in the insurance sector. The agreement helps to gain insight into the international chain and thus prevent and tackle such issues as human rights violations, environmental damage, and animal suffering. With the new agreement, Dutch insurers are the first in the world in this sector to enter into a broader and more ambitious agreement that addresses issues relating to the environment and social aspects such as corporate governance. The commitments in the agreement are based on the OECD guidelines for multinational enterprises and the UN guidelines on business and human rights. Insurers are expected to carry out an effective assessment of the risks and where necessary to adjust their policy accordingly.
