Chaucer has promoted Simon Tighe to become its group head of ESG, in addition to his role as group head of investments & Treasury within the firm.

Tighe has played a crucial role in the development of Chaucer’s major ESG initiative which it developed in partnership with Moody’s. The ESG Balanced Scorecard enables businesses to measure their ESG performance, across up to 158 distinct metrics, enabling them to evaluate business risks and opportunities.

Chaucer recently announced it has signed up to the United Nations Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI). The principles will serve to address ESG risks and opportunities for the insurance and reinsurance industries.

Tighe stated: “I’m looking forward to continuing and building upon Chaucer’s ESG achievements to date. Being a genuine force for good is at the heart of our approach to ESG. I’m excited to lead the tangible impact we can make in the way that our clients and counterparties manage and mitigate their ESG risk.”
