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.
In 2021, AM Best became the first Credit Rating Agency to become a Signatory to the United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) Finance Initiative (FI) Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI).
As a PSI signatory, AM Best is committed to incorporating the Principles into our processes and policies across all areas of our global organization. Find out more about our Principles for Sustainable Insurance.
Through our Charitable Work Day Program, donation drives and other initiatives, our employees are encouraged to become active volunteers and partners in their communities. Find out more about our Community Outreach Programs.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors have always been considered in our credit rating methodology to help identify risks and opportunities not captured by financial metrics. For more details, please refer to our Best's Credit Rating Methodology.
