Graeme Trudgill, chief executive of the British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA), has signed the trade body’s 2024 environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policy as a representation of BIBA’s reaffirmed commitment to ESG.
“We set out our ESG policy in 2023 and laid the groundwork on which we will build for the years beyond,” said Trudgill, whose camp plans to refresh its ESG policy every year. “We can look back on 2023 as a year of implementation for our ESG policy at BIBA, where we made progress giving form to our ideas and plans for action across the association.
“2024 will see us solidify our work and better demonstrate through our actions, our commitment, and that of our members to sustainable insurance, to ensure a positive impact on the people and communities that the broking sector supports every day.”
In its 2024 Manifesto, BIBA outlined a series of pledges to take ESG forward.
“We believe that focussing on good governance, responsible sourcing, mental wellbeing, diversity, equity & inclusion in the workplace, and environmental footprint reduction is paramount to the effectiveness of our association,” reads part of the policy signed by Trudgill.
“Our own commitments in these areas will, in turn, provide the solid foundation upon which to help our members play an important role in the transition to a more sustainable future.”
