Climate change and new technologies are causing more and more damage. This makes insurance more expensive and some risks are even at risk of becoming uninsurable. The Association shares tips, tools and brochures about prevention. Because if damage does not occur, you do not have to repair it.

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 themapagina Duurzaamheid/Klimaat

Agricultural sector

Watch the webinar Zonnepanelen: brandveiligheid & risico’sthat agricultural and horticultural organisation ZLTO organised in early 2022 with, among others, the Dutch Association of Insurers. This explained the construction, maintenance and risks of solar panels on barn roofs.

How do you charge? Tips for safe battery charging

New technology sometimes also creates new risks. For example, when it comes to lithium-ion batteries. These are the most common batteries in our daily lives. You can find them in electric bicycles, e-scooters, fat bikes, smartphones, power banks and you name it. These batteries can overheat and catch fire. That is why the Platform Brand has tips opgesteld voor veilig opladen, ook voor ondernemers.

Mobility & transport

Although the theft figures have been declining sharply for decades, many cars are still stolen. In addition, car parts such as catalytic converters, rims and steering wheels are in demand by criminals. Parts theft causes a lot of damage to the car. Good vehicle security helps to prevent car theft or parts theft. Insurers refer to the CCV's Vehicle Security Quality Mark for information about vehicle security and other prevention tips.

Cyber

Cyber insurers believe it is important that risk awareness in the field of cyber risks increases among private individuals and certainly entrepreneurs. The Association is working closely with the industry association VNO-NCW and the DTC to work on this together. By taking preventive measures quickly, entrepreneurs reduce the risk of becoming victims of cybercrime.

Data: to measure is to know

The Data Analytics Centre (DAC) compiles dashboards with its own data and from third parties to provide insight into developments. Think of barn fires, a weather calendar (how strong was the wind on date X?), a climate overview. This is useful for determining insured damage, assessing risks and understanding the relationship between claims and climate. Bekijk ze hier.
