The Swiss Re Foundation Entrepreneurs for Resilience Award recognises entrepreneurial initiatives that take innovative approaches to building resilient societies and realising the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The proposals that best fit with our impact goals and strategy are presented quarterly to the Foundation Board, our ultimate decision-making body.
