ICMIF Centenary Conference 2022

“Leading with purpose” was the overarching theme for the ICMIF Centenary Conference: but what does it mean to our member organisations? Does it make good business sense and are we seeing a permanent move in the insurance sector towards an awareness of its impact in and for society? How can insurance companies build resiliency in our communities and tackle the challenges posed by climate change? Are we doing enough as an industry collectively and individually?

This high-level panel of mutual/cooperative industry leaders and external stakeholders discuss some of the key issues impacting member organisations around the world and the leadership role that mutual/cooperative insurers, as purpose-led organisations, can play in solving some of these global challenges.
