Sustainability Stories – If Makes a Difference

At If, we work every day to build a safer and more sustainable society—for our customers, our employees, and the community as a whole. Sustainability is an integral part of everything we do, but some initiatives make us especially proud.

Our Sustainability Stories highlight projects where we take the next step in creating a more sustainable and future-proof society.

Join us on the journey!

At If, we take pride in contributing to a sustainable future through concrete actions and projects. From helping homeowners prepare for extreme weather to ensuring a responsible supply chain, we are actively working to address the challenges of tomorrow. Here, we share some of our most significant projects and how we are preparing for the future.

Together we prepare for extreme weather

Floods, heavy rainfall, and heatwaves are becoming more frequent due to climate change. As an insurance company, we witness daily how these weather events affect homeowners. That’s why we have expanded our House Check with new checkpoints to help customers prevent weather-related damages—making their homes more resilient for the future.

Claims handling as a foundation of societal resilience

Insurance is a key enabler of societal resilience. When climate-related damage occurs, If supports customers in rebuilding and recovering. Oskar Storsjö, Head of Property Claims at If, explains how climate insight supports prevention and climate adaptation, while Benedicte Veum, Head of Property Claims in Norway, shows how preparedness and rapid response help limit damage when extreme weather strikes.

A journey toward a workplace where everyone belongs

At If, we are at the beginning of an important journey: learning how to embrace neurodiversity and build a workplace where everyone feels safe, valued, and able to contribute their best. For If, the commitment to neurodiversity is part of a broader Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion strategy.

Building for the future together with our customers

At If, risk engineering goes beyond preventing losses. It’s about contributing to a safer, more sustainable future. That philosophy has guided a collaboration with international real estate company Vastint for more than two decades. What began as an insurance partnership has grown into a trusted relationship built on expertise, dialogue, and a shared commitment to sustainability.

Strong partnerships for a responsible supply chain

If has reviewed over 4,000 suppliers to ensure they operate responsibly and sustainably. Behind these numbers lies extensive work—not only identifying risks but also building long-term relationships. Creating a sustainable supply chain requires both clear standards and close collaboration. Meet our Sustainability Officer, Elvira Melin, and learn more about how she contributes in her daily work.

Building for the future – How we turned tragedy into hope

In June 2023, a wooden property from the 1800s in central Ronneby, Sweden, was devastated by a severe fire, leading to its total destruction. The house was insured with If and became the first building in Sweden to be part of the "Sustainable Construction" initiative. Together with the customer and local contractors, we launched a project to build for the future.
