Group Sustainability department is divided in three units:
(i) Sustainable Investment,
(ii) Sustainable Insurance,
(iii) Corporate Sustainability.
Sustainable Investment team is responsible for defining the sustainable investment policy to apply while managing the portfolio of SCOR invested assets. As an institutional investor, SCOR is determined to play its part in participating to the well-being and resilience of society, notably by preserving natural capital.
The apprenticeship will take place within the Sustainable Investment team to support existing and new research topics.
The objective is to study subjects and methodologies linked to sustainable development and to sustainable finance, and to apply these to the investment portfolio. Themes are particularly linked to climate change, biodiversity and human rights and may be translated by an analysis of opportunities and risks, a study of impacts and dependencies and their materiality… These tasks lead to elaborating extra-financial reports and need in that aim to collect ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) data and/or to develop extra-financial
indicators.
The apprentice is also responsible of a monitoring activity regarding sustainable finance topics.
The subjects delt with by the apprentice vary depending on periods of time. As an example, it could be studies on carbon or biodiversity footprints or sectorial analyses linked to a specific ESG problematic.
