Insurance obligation against catastrophic risks: recent updates

The obligation for businesses to take out insurance against catastrophic risks (such as earthquakes, floods, and extreme weather events) is now official. The requirement was originally introduced by the 2024 Budget Law.
The rule applies to all companies registered with the Italian Business Register and with either their legal or permanent establishment in Italy, excluding agricultural businesses. Deadlines for compliance vary depending on the size of the company.
The newly approved text also clarifies:

  • which business assets must be insured,
  • how to calculate the insured value,
  • and the option for corporate groups to take out a single group-wide insurance policy.

La “Certificazione B Corporation” è un marchio che viene concesso in licenza da B Lab, ente privato no profit, alle aziende che, come la nostra, hanno superato con successo il B Impact Assessment (“BIA”) e soddisfano quindi i requisiti richiesti da B Lab in termini di performance sociale e ambientale, responsabilità e trasparenza.

Si specifica che B Lab non è un organismo di valutazione della conformità ai sensi del Regolamento (UE) n. 765/2008 o un organismo di normazione nazionale, europeo o internazionale ai sensi del Regolamento (UE) n. 1025/2012.

I criteri del BIA sono distinti e autonomi rispetto agli standard armonizzati risultanti dalle norme ISO o di altri organismi di normazione e non sono ratificati da parte di istituzioni pubbliche nazionali o europee.
