The story of our CSR commitment
2003: the fundamental first step, pledging to uphold the Global Compact
CNP Assurances has always upheld human rights and citizens’ rights, in line with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and more specifically has always complied with the labour standards of the International Labour Organization and the national labour laws of each host country.
In pledging to uphold the Global Compact in 2003, we reaffirmed our commitment to respecting these fundamental principles, and also to combating corruption and protecting the environment. CNP Assurances Compañia de Seguros, the Caixa Seguradora group and CNP UniCredit Vita have also pledged to uphold the Global Compact.
2009: helping to promote the adoption of these principles throughout the insurance sector
We played an active role in launching the Association Française de l’Assurance’s sustainable development charter in 2009 and have pledged to pursue its core aims of reducing social vulnerability, combating climate change, supporting economic development and promoting socially responsible investment.
2011: deepening our commitment to acting as a responsible insurer and a responsible investor
In 2011, we pledged to uphold the United Nations’ Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), ushering in a new phase in our commitment as a responsible investor. In 2015, Caixa Seguradora signed the Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI).
2015: commitments in favour of the energy and environmental transition
A signatory of the Montreal Carbon Pledge in May 2015, CNP Assurances published the carbon footprint of the financial portfolio of directly held listed equities in December 2015. It also made a public commitment to reduce its footprint by 20% by 2020. Ambitious commitments were also made in respect of its real estate portfolio and its “coal” assets.
Coordinated deployment in subsidiaries and shared programmes with partners
In line with the Group’s business model, our main subsidiaries have one or several local partners, generally banks that distribute their products. These subsidiaries develop CSR policies in line with Group principles. There is regular dialogue between CNP Assurances and its subsidiaries and they share the same performance indicators.
