Sustainable Insurance

Commercial insurance is often described as the fuel which powers business. No organisation, however large or small, can trade without insurance coverage and this is why insurance companies hold 25% of the country’s assets on their balance sheet. Such huge financial resources wield massive influence, however there is truly little transparency provided to customers on their insurers sustainability credentials and how they deploy those assets. Our proposition is designed to support established, sustainability focused businesses with an advice led, whole of market, commercial insurance service. Our proprietary sustainability index allows us to show our customers how impactful their insurers are and allows them to include sustainability as part of their insurance buying decisions.
