Content is also available on this page exclusively for members Log in to get access to this content or request account.

Climate change and new technologies are causing more and more damage to, for example, homes, commercial buildings and vehicles. This makes insurance more expensive and some risks even risk becoming uninsurable. That is why non-life insurers work on prevention, the prevention of damage. Because if damage doesn't occur, you don't have to repair it. And that saves a lot of suffering, time and money.

On this page we have bundled our prevention tips, tools and brochures per theme.

Climate

Climate and sustainability are extremely important factors in the insurance industry. More information about developments and positions in these areas can be found on the theme page Sustainability / Climate.

It explained the construction, maintenance and risks of solar panels on stable roofs.
