Chubb, the world’s largest publicly traded property and casualty insurance company, announced that Alexandra Waldman has been appointed Climate Sustainability Manager, effective immediately. Prior to this, Waldman was the company’s Senior Environmental Program Manager.
Waldman will report to Paul Krump, Vice Chairman, Chubb Group, Global Underwriting and Claims.
In her newly created global role, Waldman will help to identify and implement opportunities for climate-related products and services, encourage employee engagement in climate sustainability issues and establish an objective, metric-driven framework against which to measure progress of the company’s sustainability initiatives.
“Chubb recognizes the reality of climate change and the substantial impact of human activity on our planet. As an insurer, our first responsibility is to use our expertise in risk management to provide products and services that protect individuals, businesses and communities, which are often becoming increasingly affected by climate change,” said Krump. “Alex brings to this role both strong operational and business line experience, as well as technical risk engineering expertise. With her skills and passion for the environment, Alex will contribute to Chubb’s efforts to improve the climate resiliency of its operating footprint, that of its clients, business partners and suppliers, and the wider community.”

In 2018, she was named Senior Environmental Program Manager, where she was responsible for monitoring and improving the environmental sustainability of Chubb’s operations and business activities, including greenhouse gas emissions measurement and reduction goals, environmental reporting, and certifications of Chubb offices with the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED rating system.
Prior to joining Chubb, Waldman completed the associate program in the environmental division of Zurich Financial Services.
Waldman holds a B.A. degree in Environmental Studies from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a M.S. degree in Environmental Science and Management from the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management – University of California at Santa Barbara.
