Sustainability

Ethias' ambition is to gradually evolve its product range towards greater sustainability, in order to cover Belgian society even better in difficult times, to have a positive impact on the environment by encouraging more responsible behaviour, and also to make certain basic insurance products more inclusive and accessible to all.

Ethias' sustainability strategy has been designed and built as an integrated strategy for the company's various activities. Ethias' ambition is for all its departments to make it their own, and for sustainability to become a reflex: in the creation of products and services, in their marketing, and in every contact with customers and partners.

Naturally, ESG integration must first and foremost be reflected in our core business: offering insurance products and services.

As a result, since 2023, sustainability has been integrated "by design" into the product creation process for both Life and Non-Life products. Each new product proposal or revision must justify whether or not it is sustainable, based on a reference framework developed in-house by the Products and Sustainability teams. This framework, largely based on the European Green Taxonomy, will be updated in line with regulatory developments and the state of the art in the field.
