Our purpose
Insurance that does good.
It’s what being a modern mutual is all about.
At Gore Mutual, we have a deep history of putting purpose at the heart of our business to benefit our employees, brokers, customers and communities.
It’s a purpose that grows from our more than 180 years as a mutual insurer, and is now driven by our model of a modern mutual. That purpose: insurance that does good.
Community investment
$1.99M
Through our commitment to spreading good, we contributed $1.99 million in 2023 alone for community investments all across Canada. This money was invested in a range of different focus areas, including health, climate change, poverty reduction and equity.
Community involvement
8,000+
Helping out the communities in which we operate has been at the heart of how we have done business as a mutual insurer for more than a century. In 2023, our employees volunteered more than 8,000 hours to worthwhile causes across Canada.
Equity
44.4%
Our leaders must reflect the world we inhabit. As of 2023, 44.4% of VP-level roles and above at Gore Mutual were held by women – a figure we seek to grow through a commitment to gender and racial equity in every part of our organization.
