Sustainability Board – members

Application closing date: 21 June

The IFoA is seeking to appoint both members and suitably experienced non-members to join the Sustainability Board.

 

Background

The Sustainability Board is a member-led board of volunteer actuaries. It advises the IFoA on important sustainability issues and is a source of expertise within the profession on matters relating to the sustainability practice area.  

The board is proud of substantial progress made over the last 5 years. Key achievements include:

  • Vibrant board, with respected industry leaders, influencing global thinking, focusing on those areas where actuarial skills have most value to add, and collaborating with thought leaders and other specialists.  
  • High quality weekly newsletter to over 1,000 actuaries, giving ongoing current perspectives.
  • Closer to the ‘actuarial core skill set’: 2 risk notes issues issued in last 2 years to remind all actuaries that climate risk should be on their radar and flag that some of the most respected sources may be underestimating their client’s risk.

Volunteers will ideally have a good industry profile and an excellent network of contacts. They will be someone who is keen to build on the strong foundations already created and have a passion to help shape and drive forward the sustainability practice area for the future.

 

Time commitment

The time commitment is one day per month. Attendance would be required at 4 to 5 meetings per year, for 2 hours at a time. These are held online. Location is not a barrier. Meeting times can be adjusted to take into account time differences based on the membership of the board.
