SCOR, one of the world's largest reinsurers, provides its clients with a diversified and innovative range of solutions to control and manage risk. Using its experience and expertise, “The Art & Science of Risk”, SCOR provides cutting-edge financial solutions, analytics tools and services in all areas related to risk – in Life & Health as well as in P&C.
The reinsurance industry is about combining technical expertise and experience with the developments of science. However many tools we use to conduct our activities (models, databases, pricing tools, reserving tools, and so on), we also need expert judgments and human experience to correctly underwrite. This is what we call the art of underwriting. Reinsurance is a knowledge industry. Expertise is an accumulation variable.
The most advanced tool will never replace the intuition of a seasoned underwriter facing a complex risk. Because at the end of the day, you have to make a decision, to sign, to underwrite. And what we have underwritten, we cannot overwrite - our word is our bond, as is our signature. This dimension of our business, linked to the art of underwriting, is more important than some observers would have people believe.
One way to acquire this art is to share experiences – both good and bad – and to share doubts and questions. Artists always belong to a school, from which they learn their craft.
Like artists, we have to learn, imitate, mimic, and then innovate, in order to find our own style and create our own distinctive work.

SCOR has just announced our Q4 2024 results. With a net income of 233 million euros and a return on equity of 23%, all three of SCOR’s businesses contributed to positive results this quarter:
➡️ In Property & Casualty, a strong combined ratio of 83.1% was driven by low natural catastrophes and low attritional losses.
➡️ In Life & Health, the insurance service result stands at 119 million euros, driven by a good level of CSM amortization and risk adjustment release.
➡️ In Investments, SCOR benefits from high reinvestment rates and an elevated regular income yield of 3.6%.

Did you know that 46% of girls lack confidence to become leaders and 67% believe women don't have the same opportunities as men?
At SCOR, we're committed to helping change this and with International Women's Day just around the corner, there's no better time to shine a light on our partnership with Inspiring Girls.
Inspiring Girls aims to connect girls with female role models to teach them about possible career paths. SCOR's Singapore office joined in 2023 and now other offices, including our Paris headquarters, are stepping up to empower girls to pursue their dreams.
