We strive for transparency and openness about our sustainability goals and achievements through ongoing stakeholder engagement and regular reporting. External sustainability ratings and industry benchmarking initiatives provide important opportunities for us to continually improve our sustainability performance. We participate in a range of these including:
* THE USE BY QBE INSURANCE GROUP OF ANY MSCI ESG RESEARCH LLC OR ITS AFFILIATES (“MSCI”) DATA, AND THE USE OF MSCI LOGOS, TRADEMARKS, SERVICE MARKS OR INDEX NAMES HEREIN, DO NOT CONSTITUTE A SPONSORSHIP, ENDORSEMENT, RECOMMENDATION, OR PROMOTION OF [ENTITY] BY MSCI. MSCI SERVICES AND DATA ARE THE PROPERTY OF MSCI OR ITS INFORMATION PROVIDERS, AND ARE PROVIDED ‘AS-IS’ AND WITHOUT WARRANTY. MSCI NAMES AND LOGOS ARE TRADEMARKS OR SERVICE MARKS OF MSCI.
Mandatory sustainability and/or climate-related disclosures are being introduced in several of our countries of operation, including Australia where our business is headquartered. Our focus is on preparing for these disclosures, and as such, QBE has not prepared a full CDP response in 2024.

Gender pay gap reports
As part of our commitment to fostering an inclusive and respectful environment which promotes and enables gender equality across our workforce, we have elected to take a transparent approach on our global gender pay gap to help keep us accountable for our progress. The gender pay gap is calculated without adjustment for factors such as role, level, tenure, or geographic location; it simply compares the median or mean pay for women employed by QBE to that of men employed by QBE.
Other disclosures
From time to time, QBE may need to make disclosures outside of the reporting cycle. Please find these disclosures here.
