Rewild your Life
Supporting nature today, to make tomorrow more resilient
In many ways, nature does lots of things better than we ever could. What is empowering to know is that there are things we can all do to prioritise natural solutions for our global environmental challenges. Rewilding is another powerful way to support nature, in which companies, like humans, can also take an active role in preserving our planet. At Zurich, we believe that by supporting nature today, we can make tomorrow more resilient. Get inspired by Zurich’s rewilding actions and discover how you can actively support nature and rewild your life with useful everyday tips.
The power of the butterfly effect
Content created by National Geographic CreativeWorks
Zurich is working with National Geographic CreativeWorks to create content that explores the concept of how small, yet mighty actions of rewilding can collectively bring about substantial change.
By looking at various examples of “butterfly effects”, we can see how individuals can make a positive impact in the preservation of our planet.
The first “butterfly effect” example starts with the simple act of planting a dandelion in a garden in Germany, illustrating how this seemingly small gesture can hold back floods in Malaysia. Another example is how Zurich Insurance, together with Instituto Terra, is actively supporting the planting of new seedlings – leading to increased wildlife populations and new employment opportunities for local communities.

Learn about Zurich’s sustainability framework
Sustainability is key to Zurich’s long-term success and our ambition is to be one of the most responsible and impactful businesses in the world. As we continue our sustainability journey, we want to target three focus areas: Planet, Customers and People. We will continue to use the levers we have as a global insurer to make a positive impact in the world.
These three focus areas are intertwined. Innovative underwriting and claims solutions offer positive results for customers that can also benefit people and the planet. Through responsible investment, we can grow the positive impact of our invested assets. Strategic community investment by the *Z Zurich Foundation helps build a brighter future for the most vulnerable.
We will continue to use technology, innovation, learning, partnerships, and governance to bring this to life. Every part of Zurich has a role to play.
*The Z Zurich Foundation is a Swiss-based charitable foundation established by members of the Zurich Insurance Group. It is the main vehicle by which Zurich Insurance Group delivers on its global community investment strategy.
