Survey: Chinese Luxury Brand Consumers
In China, Gen Z (i.e. post-95s) ranks first among the heavy luxury consumers who buy luxury goods every month, with more than 12 luxury items purchased each year. This insightful conclusion comes from the Chinese Luxury Brand Consumers — A Generational, Gender and City-tier Analysis published in 2020.

How banks are responding to the financial risks of climate change
Sustainable finance is expected to be a crucial factor in the post Covid-19 economic recovery period and regulators are encouraging banks to actively embed climate-related risks in their business operations and risk management frameworks. Against this backdrop, Mazars has analysed how 30 of the largest banks worldwide have been responding to climate-related financial risks.

Insights into challenges and trends relating to the “three lines of defence” model at Swiss insurance companies
Mazars and the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) have conducted a study on the practical application of the "model of the Three Lines of Defence" in the Swiss insurance market.
Public disclosure in the Swiss insurance market
This study examines the first experiences with the new disclosure requirement (financial condition report or Public Disclosure) in the Swiss insurance market. One finding was that the interest in the financial condition report (FCR) among policyholders has so far been limited. Furthermore, from the point of view of many of the insurers surveyed, the costs exceed the benefits and Public Disclosure is perceived as a compulsory exercise with little added value.
Using the SDGs to Add Value to Business
When the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 169 targets were launched, the message was clear to all stakeholders of the world – governments, regulators, companies, and populations – we need to do more to protect the world for future generations. 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.
