The public authorities forcing them for the insurers to propose in their multisupports “green” fund offers and socially responsible investment (ISR). It is indeed the law that forces them, since this year, to include at least one Fund having obtained the ISR label of State; An offer that will have to be completed, from the next year, by at least one Green Fund with the Greenfin label, and / or a solidarity Fund labeled Finansol, that is to say investing some of the sums collected in Companies of the social and solidarity economy not placing the search for financial profit in their priorities.
