Bancassurance in Europe - benchmark study
While bancassurance is a booming business, proper supervision of the holding entity and its subsidiaries is required in order to be well managed. It is fundamental to grant effective disclosure of key information between the banking and insurance counterparties and to harness synergies between the two. Leveraging from our strong position and expertise in the European financial services advisory market, Mazars was able to survey the bancassurance industry.

Using the SDGs to Add Value to Business

So where are we now, and how are companies reacting to this brave new world? Mazars` Global Sustainability Leadership Team explores this and more in the Global Goals Yearbook 2018.
