Abstrakt

Tematyka artykułu dotyczy zrównoważonego rozwoju rynku ubezpieczeń w Polsce w kontekście wymogów interesariuszy. Celem jest ocena wpływu zasad zrównoważonego rozwoju na rynek ubezpieczeń w Polsce. Zastosowaną metodą badawczą jest triangulacja obejmującą badanie ilościowe i jakościowe. Stwierdzono, że większość podmiotów na rynku ubezpieczeniowym publikuje informacje na temat zrównoważonego rozwoju. Zakłady ubezpieczeń udostępniają informacje głównie na temat klimatu, ekologii i środowiska. Jednak dostarczane dane są bardzo zróżnicowane; w niektórych przypadkach są one minimalne i zgodne z przepisami, w innych zakres jest znacznie szerszy. W większości przypadków jest to zrozumiałe dla odbiorców, ale na ten moment można stwierdzić, że informacje te są nieporównywalne. Interesariusze potrzebują wiarygodnych danych, głównie na temat celów związanych z odpowiedzialną działalnością (cel nr 12), przeciwdziałaniem zmianom klimatu (cel nr 13), godną pracą (cel nr 8), zrównoważonym uprzemysłowieniem i wspieraniem innowacji (cel nr 9), życiem na lądzie (cel nr 15), życiem pod wodą (cel nr 14), wysokiej jakości edukacją (cel nr 4).

Słowa kluczowe:

rozwój zrównoważony, zakłady ubezpieczeń, instytucje finansowe, informacje niefinansowe, interesariusze
