Our responsability

Accessible life insurance: a priority for Cardif Lux Vie! Green investment, promoting diversity, accountability – our commitments.

A COMMITTED INSURER

Having a positive impact means acting in the interests of society, our clients and the environment. Our responsibility as an insurer has persuaded us to rethink our insurance model.

Making insurance more accessible

Our goal is to make insurance more accessible – in other words, clearer, more inclusive and user-friendly, as well as being easier to apply for, with a 100% seamless digital customer experience

Our provident insurance documentation has been fully rewritten in standard, simple and clear language, with accessibility conditions that are more favourable to policyholders (right to be forgotten, limited exclusions, etc.);

Helping to finance a more sustainable economy

As an insurer and institutional investor, we have enormous responsibility. We manage the savings entrusted to us by our policyholders with a long-term perspective and a twofold conviction: combining financial performance with a positive impact on society.

Our ESG approach

We have been integrating environmental, social and governance criteria into our investment decision-making since 2008. Restrictions or exclusions also apply for sensitive sectors (Financing and investment policies – BNP Paribas (group.bnpparibas). A carbon filter allows us to verify the level of emissions (in tonnes of CO2 equivalent) and the energy transition strategies of the companies we invest in. In 2022, 96.35% of the assets of our General Fund were the subject of an ESG analysis.

Our positive impact investments:

We invest in assets that have a positive impact, addressing different environmental challenges (such as the energy transition and the protection of ecosystems) and societal challenges (such as the fight against social inequality).
