Simon had an important role to play in developing the company’s major ESG initiative, which was developed in partnership with Moody’s.
Its ESG Balanced Scorecard allows businesses to track their ESG performance, across up to 158 unique metrics, allowing them to identify, assess and manage business risks and opportunities in terms of ESG and become more sustainable.
The scorecard brings together Chaucer’s expertise in underwriting risk, with Moody’s data and ESG-modelling expertise.
