The paper examines the new insurance policies related to sustainable mobility, highlighting how insurance companies can play an undeniable social role due to their ability to reduce environmental impact, counter climate change, and promote sustainability. Indeed, they can neutralize and manage hitherto unprecedented risks, such as those arising from the overheating of lithium batteries or digital automation, which could otherwise discourage the adoption of new smart mobility technologies. It highlights how companies – through insurance solutions for both the retail and corporate segments – are contributing to sustainability, not only by absorbing and redistributing the risks associated with motor vehicle pollution, but also because their investments can direct capital flows toward eco-friendly projects and objectives.
L’articolo esamina le nuove polizze relative alla mobilità sostenibile evidenziando come le imprese assicurative hanno la possibilità di svolgere un’innegabile funzione sociale perché capaci di ridurre l’impatto ambientale, contrastare il cambiamento climatico e promuovere la sostenibilità. Esse, infatti, possono neutralizzare e gestire danni finora inediti, come quelli derivanti dal surriscaldamento delle batterie al litio o quelli derivanti dall’automazione digitale, che potrebbero finire per scoraggiare l’adozione stessa delle nuove tecnologie per la smart mobility. Si evidenzia come le compagnie attraverso soluzioni assicurative per il segmento retail e per il segmento corporate stanno contribuendo alla sostenibilità, non solo perché assorbono e redistribuiscono il rischio legato all’inquinamento degli autoveicoli, ma anche perché, possono, con i loro investimenti, orientare i flussi di capitale verso progetti e obiettivi eco-friendly.

Abstract
The paper examines the new insurance policies related to sustainable mobility, highlighting how insurance companies can play an undeniable social role due to their ability to reduce environmental impact, counter climate change, and promote sustainability. Indeed, they can neutralize and manage hitherto unprecedented risks, such as those arising from the overheating of lithium batteries or digital automation, which could otherwise discourage the adoption of new smart mobility technologies. It highlights how companies – through insurance solutions for both the retail and corporate segments – are contributing to sustainability, not only by absorbing and redistributing the risks associated with motor vehicle pollution, but also because their investments can direct capital flows toward eco-friendly projects and objectives.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
