AM Best

Sustainability

AM Best is committed to supporting the sustainability of the insurance industry because the long-term economic viability of insurers is essential to the growth and stability of economies throughout the world. Our credit rating methodology takes sustainability principles into account, incorporating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors that go beyond financial metrics. AM Best also integrates environmental, social, ethical and economic considerations into our own business operations to benefit the company and its stakeholders in our local and global communities.
