Sampo Oyj : Group’s Corporate Responsibility Report for 2019 has been published

Sampo Group has published its Corporate Responsibility Report for 2019 on Sampo's Annual Reporting site at www.sampo.com/year2019.

Sampo has continued and will continue to further strengthen its group-level focus on corporate responsibility. Among the highlights of 2019 was Sampo Group signing the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), completing a project relating to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and joining the UN Global Compact. Sampo Group companies also introduced new strategies for responsible investment and requirements for investment processes, such as sector- and norms-based screening and active ownership through pooled engagement. These new strategies came into effect in 2020.

- 2020 has turned out to be challenging for people and companies around the world due to the coronavirus. In times like these, sustainable business practices play a very important role, says Johanna Tynkkynen, Head of Corporate Responsibility.

Developing corporate responsibility is an ongoing process. During 2020 and beyond, Sampo Group plans to integrate environmental and social matters into its insurance underwriting and product offering in a more structured manner throughout the entire Group. This includes both group-level principles and more detailed company-specific guidelines. In addition, climate change considerations, according to the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), will be in focus.
