3. Conference Center Welcome
Welcome to the Joint Alumni Conference 2011 at the Swiss Re Cen-
tre for Global Dialogue. Most of us do not give a lot of thought to
insurance in our everyday lives. Yet insurance underpins almost all
of our economic activity; and provides the necessary security for risk
takers to innovate. It is a striking example of how better business
can lead to a better world.
This year’s JAC is entitled «Better Business, Better World». The con-
ference will provide insights and inspiration into the positive role
business can play in our society. We will hear from CEOs and senior
managers, together with deans of leading business schools, about
their views on sustainability, corporate responsibility, leadership,
and how each can contribute to better business.
Swiss Re has been committed to supporting our clients for 148 years.
We understand the value of partnerships, some of which go back a
century or more. The Centre has been a partner with the JAC since
its inception in 2007. I look forward to hosting many more JAC con-
ferences, with a commitment to undertaking better business for a
better world.
