This Sustainability Report (Report) covers the activities of QBE across its divisions during the financial year ended 31 December 2022 in alignment with our financial statements. It provides an overview of initiatives underway to demonstrate progress across the pillars of our Sustainability Framework.
Our employees are passionate about supporting their communities, working together to raise funds and volunteer for causes that they care about. They’re making a real difference through a wide range of fundraising activities for charities including Crisis and Mind, as well as volunteering in the community through their partnership with Volunteering Matters.
We are focused on creating a diverse and inclusive workplace that respects all employees, irrespective of their differences. That’s because it’s the right thing to do – but also because it’s good for business. Having a sustained commitment to diversity is essential for attracting people with varied backgrounds and experiences, who bring with them fresh ideas that can help us grow in new and innovative ways.
Premiums4Good is an innovative initiative that sees us invest everyday premiums to make a tangible difference to communities across the globe. Through Premiums4Good, QBE invests a portion of customers’ premiums into investments that have additional social or environmental benefits, at no extra cost to our customers.
As an international insurer and reinsurer, strong corporate governance, sustainable business practices, providing a great place to work and making a positive and impactful contribution to our customers’ lives, and the economies and communities in which we operate, are a key focus.
