Description: What is the value of the health care we pay for? As medical inflation continues to outpace general inflation, this question is more important than ever. As actuaries, we are often called upon to evaluate the value of medical care. Are the ways the value equation is commonly constructed reflective of our aspirations as a society?

Description: What relevance does ESG and Sustainability have for actuaries? In the Life and Health space, we know that large protection gaps persist, reminding us of the challenges reinsurers and insurers face in reaching underserved customers who are often lower-income, less healthy, and more likely to suffer impacts of climate change. The Sustainable Actuary is focused on solving these challenges to make life and health insurance more inclusive. This ImpACTful panel will dive into these challenges and provide practical case studies of more inclusive insurance products that balance considerations for people, the planet, and profit. Listeners will walk away with ideas for how to use their actuarial expertise to enable greater social impact and sustainable business value.
