Towards a sustainable future: Inser's commitment to ESG initiatives

Find out how Inser is integrating sustainability and social responsibility into its business model to make a positive impact on the environment, society and governance.

At the beginning of 2024, Inser embarked on a determined journey towards environmental, social and governance (ESG) sustainability, adopting the philosophy of its parent company, the Verlingue Group. Over the next five years, our company will implement corporate policies aimed at achieving Verlingue's four ESG pillars: customers, society, employees and the environment. To this end, Inser has already begun to work in synergy with insurance companies to offer products that have a positive impact on corporate sustainability. These include lower premiums for electric cars and optimised risk management to mitigate potential environmental impacts. Although the understanding and assessment of ESG risks in Italy is still in its infancy, we are committed to using these new parameters to make more informed investment decisions. INSER's commitment to ESG, here are the first resultsINSER has focused on gender equality, with a "pink presence" of over 50%, and on flexible working to improve the quality of life of its employees. An intelligent working policy, extended to two days a week for employees with special family needs, has resulted in an annual saving of 65,520 km and 8,714 kg of CO2. This experimental phase demonstrates Inser's commitment to reducing its impact on the environment. In the same vein, a calendar of collective closures and the practice of "short Fridays" has been introduced, with offices completely closed during the summer months. This initiative not only contributes to significant energy savings, but also supports the well-being of employees by allowing them to enjoy more free time during the summer period. Digitisation is another important pillar of Inser's ESG strategy. By digitising its archives, the company has almost completely eliminated the need for paper. In addition, 80% of the majority of e-learning courses planned for 2025 will focus on environmental awareness and the professional development of employees. In addition to e-learning courses, Inser has a clear vision for internal skills development through the Inser Verlingue Academy. In terms of compliance, Inser has adopted a L.231-compliant organisational model with a code of ethics and a set of guidelines on data protection and information sharing. In terms of office organisation, Inser invests in next-generation IT equipment and food dispensing systems that meet the highest standards of energy efficiency. We are also committed to recycling waste and improving the energy performance of our buildings, further reducing our environmental impact. Finally, Inser is committed to supporting local communities through charity programmes and sports sponsorship, demonstrating a strong local connection and commitment to social welfare. By 2028, Inser aims to reduce its CO2 emissions by 20%. Pierpaolo Ruggeri, CEO of Inser, said: "Every action we take is a commitment to a more sustainable and responsible future. Through a concrete and measurable commitment, we want to demonstrate that sustainability and business success can go hand in hand, benefiting not only the environment but also the people and communities around us.
