E1 – Climate Change
E1-1Transition plan for climate change mitigationReported
MAPFRE Group maintains environmental commitments in its insurance and reinsurance underwriting business to contribute to the transition toward a low-carbon economy, reinforcing the commitment to be a net zero company by 2050.
MAPFRE faces significant risks due to climate change, especially in relation to natural disasters that may increase in frequency and severity, impacting claims and the resources needed for their management. To address these risks, specialized reports and control systems are used to manage exposure to catastrophic risks, determining maximum underwriting capacities per risk and event. In 2021, MAPFRE implemented the ExpoCat tool for georeferencing and controlling catastrophic exposures, improving information management and decision-making.
Additionally, the Group's reinsurer, MAPFRE RE, is responsible for placing reinsurance protections to mitigate catastrophic risks, ensuring that the Group can withstand losses without compromising its solvency.
E1-2Policies related to climate change mitigation and adaptationReported
These commitments are defined in the Underwriting Policy, approved by MAPFRE SA's Board of Directors, and are applicable to all insurance and reinsurance companies and in line with the corporate business strategy. MAPFRE has a Global Business Committee which meets monthly, and an Underwriting Policy Committee which meets each semester and is responsible for, among other things, the correct application of this policy, as well as to analyze and propose operating standards of exclusion for ESG matters.
MAPFRE implements its Sustainable Investment Policy from a dual approach: "a posteriori" to evaluate and adjust existing portfolios according to their ESG score, and "a priori" to integrate these criteria into the research of future investments.
MAPFRE has developed a Responsible Investment Framework that establishes rating thresholds, defines exclusion policies, and promotes shareholder participation, aligning its sustainable investment strategy with its long-term sustainability vision.
