“I am pleased that our commitment to working within the Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI) is now recognised externally, receiving a solid score from which we can build on further over the coming years. I am particularly pleased that the S&P Global Ratings ESG Evaluation rated IPB’s Social performance the highest yet among its published reports for financial services companies. This is a testament to our ethos as a mutual and the values we hold dear that not only recognises our commitment to our Members but also the communities they serve.” Michael Garvey, CEO IPB Insurance.
