What senior insurance & re-insurance leaders say

Ananya S.
Head of Climate Risk, General Insurance

“This went beyond awareness into real governance and execution. The integrated climate + nature risk framing helped me tighten our assessment logic and present a clearer, board-ready narrative on exposures and actions.”

Rahul M.
Director – Underwriting Strategy, Commercial Lines

“The strongest value was translating ESG and transition risk into underwriting appetite and portfolio steering. It gave me a structured way to embed sustainability signals into decision rules and escalation conversations.”

Meera P.
ESG & Disclosure Lead, Insurance Group

“The coverage of TCFD/TNFD/CSRD/ISSB context was extremely practical. I used the mapping approach to align sustainability disclosures with risk, underwriting and investment inputs—and identify what controls we need to stand up.”

David K.
Re-insurance Solutions Lead, Cat & Structured Risk

“The innovation modules were the differentiator—parametric structures, hybrid solutions, and ILS/cat bond thinking. It helped me package resilience-focused solutions that make commercial sense for both cedants and capital providers.”

Frequently asked questions

What is the “Certified Expert in Sustainability Insurance & Re-Insurance” program about?

This Expert-level program is designed for professionals who want to lead sustainability transformation in insurance and re-insurance—moving from concepts into strategy, governance, innovation, and execution.

You’ll work with integrated climate + nature risk thinking (including TNFD LEAP in depth), advanced disclosure context (TCFD/TNFD/CSRD/ISSB), and solution architecture such as parametric and capital markets structures (ILS/cat bonds), with a capstone-style application.

Who is this Expert level best suited for?

It’s ideal for professionals with 5+ years of experience in insurance/re-insurance or adjacent roles who influence decisions across underwriting, risk, product, portfolio, climate/ESG, compliance, analytics, or re-insurance solutions.

Typical roles include senior underwriters, risk leaders, cat/portfolio specialists, sustainability heads, product strategists, consultants, brokers, and re-insurance/structured solutions professionals.

Is this course too advanced if I’m new to sustainability insurance?

If you’re completely new, we recommend starting with the Associate or Practitioner pathway first. Expert is built for learners who already understand insurance basics and want to operate at a strategic and solution-design level.

That said, the program remains practical and structured—you won’t need academic climate science or heavy maths.

Will I learn about TNFD and nature-related risk (not just climate)?

Yes. Expert level expands beyond climate-only coverage. You’ll learn how nature-related risk is assessed through practical TNFD LEAP-style workflows and how it connects to underwriting, portfolio, and disclosure decisions.

The focus is applying the concepts in insurance decision-making—materiality, risk pathways, and actions.

Does the program cover parametric insurance, ILS, and cat bond thinking?

Yes. You’ll learn how to think about solution architecture—including parametric structures (triggers, basis risk, hybrid designs) and when ILS/cat bonds may be considered in a risk-transfer strategy.

The intent is not to replace specialist structuring teams, but to make you fluent enough to lead, evaluate, and collaborate on these solutions.

Which standards and disclosure frameworks are included?

You’ll work with insurance-relevant disclosure context across TCFD, TNFD, CSRD, and ISSB, focusing on what they mean for governance, risk processes, data expectations, and external communication.

The goal is to help you translate frameworks into controls and execution—not just definitions.

Is there a capstone or final deliverable?

Yes. Expert level typically culminates in a capstone-style application where you design a complete sustainability insurance/re-insurance solution or transformation plan, including risk logic, stakeholders, governance, and implementation steps.

This is designed to be directly reusable for internal initiatives, client work, or product strategy.

Is the program self-paced, and how long do I retain access?

Yes, it’s self-paced so you can progress around work schedules. You can revisit modules while your access is active—many learners return during reporting cycles, renewals, audits, or solution design work.

If your organisation needs a cohort timeline, group enrolment options are available.

Will I receive a certificate and can I add it to LinkedIn?

Yes. After meeting the course completion requirements, you’ll receive a digital certificate that can be added to LinkedIn and your professional profile.

It’s a professional certification issued by MASSIVUE Academy (not a regulator-issued licence).

Can my company enroll a group or request a customised version?

Yes. Teams across underwriting, risk, ESG, product, and compliance often enrol together to build a shared operating model for sustainability transformation.

For group enrolments or customization aligned to your market, portfolio, or regulatory context, contact MASSIVUE and we’ll share available options.
