Allianz takes the lead in 2023 in the polluting industries risk coverage category. It is followed by Generali, which was ranked 6th in 2022.
Aviva and Swiss Re have maintained their positions from the previous year, ranking third and fourth respectively in the top 30. AXA, which came second in 2022, has moved down to fifth place in 2023. This is due to its non-selective hedging strategies for oil and gas risks.

As for the investment category, the reinsurer SCOR is ranked first. It is followed by Generali, Swiss Re, AXA and Zurich.
