Rachel Delhaise, Chief Sustainability Officer: Convex: Insurance’s critical role in global resilience (402)

Episode notes

Introduction In this episode, Matthew Grant speaks with Rachel Delhaise , Chief Sustainability Officer at Convex, about what climate sustainability really looks like inside a modern insurance business. While attention may have shifted elsewhere, the underlying challenges have not gone away. Rachel offers a clear view of how insurers are continuing to respond through underwriting decisions, risk modelling and long-term investment thinking. Rachel joined Convex in the early stages of the business to build its sustainability approach from the ground up. Her role spans three core areas: identifying opportunities in the transition, strengthening how climate risk is understood and managed and supporting cutting-edge carbon science research. Together, these reflect a broader shift in how insurers are positioning themselves as active participants in enabling change. The conversation explores how insurance is supporting emerging technologies such as carbon capture and storage, where underwriting plays a critical role in making projects viable.
