Last year, Insurance Business recognised Zurich (Chartered Insurers) as having a five star Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) policy. To determine the most effective programmes, Insurance Business conducted one-on-one interviews with DEI professionals to gain a keen understanding of the industry standards for and find out which companies have met or exceeded these expectations.
All CII Chartered firms are required to have a DEI policy in operation to demonstrate that the firm actively promotes equal opportunities. However, we are aware that many of our Chartered firms go above and beyond this requirement — whether it be supporting industry initiatives, setting stretching goals related to DEI, implementing forward-thinking and supportive policies or sharing insights and best practice more widely so that the Chartered community and profession as a whole can benefit.
