Sustainability & Governance
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) at Arch.
Key ESG Topics at a Glance
ESG considerations are integral to our business operations and daily decisions. We take a measured approach to ESG as we strive to drive our purpose — Enable Possibility — across all areas of our business.
We work with our clients to provide services and insurance coverage that help them safeguard their future in a world where uncertainty touches every aspect of their lives. Our business is built on long-term thinking and an established history of delivering reliable risk management expertise to our markets.
Our ESG framework maps across five key impact areas that support and drive our ESG initiative. By organizing our strategy under these pillars, we seek to encompass Arch’s collaborative ESG successes and sustainability progress across our operations.
Our ESG Framework
We provide services and
insurance coverages
that support our clients
through major loss and
improve their resiliency;
we integrate ESG factors
into our underwriting to
reduce risk and capture
opportunities for
stakeholder benefit.
By actively managing
ESG risks and
embedding compliance,
transparency, data
protection and resiliency
across all areas of
our operations, we
protect our people and
customers who entrust
us with their personal
information and
business.
We believe incorporating
certain nonfinancial ESG
factors into investment
selection and risk
management has the
potential to enhance
long-term investment
returns.
We are committed to
investing in the success
of our employees
as individuals and
professionals to create
long-term sustainable
growth as an
organization.
Striving to make a
difference by investing
in our communities
is one of Arch’s core
Values, woven into the
fabric of our culture.
