ReutersZurich Insurance becomes second firm to quit climate alliance
LONDON (Reuters) -Zurich Insurance Group said on Wednesday it was withdrawing from the Net Zero Insurance Alliance (NZIA), becoming the second founding member to quit the climate group in less than a week. Part of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) umbrella group of sectors pushing to decarbonise, NZIA members have faced growing pressure from campaigners to move faster in cutting emissions linked to their underwriting.

ReutersStop insuring carbon projects 'immediately', activists tell bosses
FRANKFURT/LONDON (Reuters) -A group of climate activists has called on 30 insurance company bosses to "immediately" stop underwriting new fossil fuel projects in the wake of a stark climate warning from U.N. scientists, a letter seen by Reuters showed. Insure our Future, a global consortium of activists, said it sent the letter dated March 21 to companies including Munich Re, Zurich Insurance and AXA. The six-page letter, signed by 23 climate groups, including non-governmental organisations (NGOs), said the insurance industry had failed to do enough to meet the world's climate goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

ReutersMunich Re firmly sticks to 2022 target after quarterly profit rise

Last month the resinsurer already flagged that it expected profit of around 500 million euros, well above consensus for a loss of 167 million euros.

ReutersMunich Re says reinsurance rates likely to rise
Munich Re said reinsurance rates were set to rise across the industry, caused by inflation, higher interest rates and a decline in capital to underpin underwriting activity. In a statement on Sunday, the German group said reinsurance capacity, or the industry's financial ability to take on risks, was on the decline while demand for contracts was growing, causing rates to trend higher. "Reinsurance capacity declines as demand grows – further hardening of the market (is) apparent," it said.
