What you see is not always what you get: could certification help build consumer (and investor) confidence?
Emerging consumers have no way of knowing if their insurance policy represents good value for money until an adverse event occurs. We hate to suggest it, but in some cases they could be better off with no insurance at all. We examine the pros and cons of certification, who is defining what “good” insurance might look like and why a new initiative may be called for.
Can inclusive insurance help us to Build Back Better?
As the planet endures the hottest month on record, there’s an urgent need to invest in sustainable infrastructure and more resilient cities. With US$33 trillion of investment funds at their disposal, what part can insurance companies play in building climate-smart, post-pandemic communities?
Empowering women through insurance
In the second of our series looking at the role of women both as insurance professionals and insurance consumers, we talk to Susan Neely, President and CEO of the American Council of Life Insurers (ACLI) and Vice-President of the Global Federation of Insurance Associations (GFIA) about the B20 Special Initiative on Women’s Empowerment and its implications for the inclusive insurance sector.
