Responsible Procurement
In 2023, our focus was on evaluating our current strategic vendors against ESG criteria, in alignment with the new Category Management Process.
We launched a pilot program with a draft Vendor Code of Conduct outlining key expectations regarding environmental sustainability, human rights and labor practices, ethics, and governance.
More resilient underwriting
Underwriting is at the core of our business and how we can better prepare ourselves and protect our customers for the unexpected. We also know that there are opportunities to leverage our underwriting and core business to adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Loss Prevention
Available through VIP Endorsement, after a loss that is not otherwise excluded, we will pay up to $2,500 for expenses incurred for the installation of an approved loss prevention device to protect the dwelling from the same loss occurring again
Mass evacuation
Weather-related natural disasters are becoming more frequent and more powerful. For mass evacuations arising as a direct result of a sudden or accidental event, we have increased the timeframe for living expenses incurred to 30 days from the date of the order of evacuation.
Green products
Personal lines customers with our VIP Endorsement can replace damaged items with environmentally friendly products. We’ll pay an additional amount – up to 2% of the homeowners single policy limit – when the customer uses qualifying green products to repair or replace lost or damaged dwellings, detached private structures, home appliances and home electronics.
Partnership spotlight: Ecoclaim
In 2023, we introduced several pivotal changes to our claims process to elevate our service and operational efficiency. This included our EcoClaim program, which is a significant leap towards sustainable claims management.
