We set up Aspect to make a difference. Not just to the customers we work with and the many businesses that we see being underserved by the wider insurance industry, but also to wider society.
There are a whole range of challenges that we collectively face and in which the insurance industry has a role to play. From helping communities and businesses adapt to and mitigate the risks posed by climate change to supporting disadvantaged kids in the UK, we want to build not just a business but a good corporate citizen.
We are therefore proud to announce that we have today become associate members of the Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation (IICF). The IICF brings the insurance industry together to help support communities across the UK. Since launching in 2015, the IICF has had a positive impact on the lives of more than 7,000 people and has brought together more than 2000 leaders from the industry to help drive positive change.
In particular, IICF is focused on the ‘S’ in ESG, and is supporting initiatives aimed at increasing social mobility and allowing everyone to reach their full potential, regardless of their background.
This is something that chimes hugely with the team here at Aspect.
Previously our team has taken part in initiatives ranging from helping support homeless people in Luxembourg with hot and healthy meals to supporting vulnerable families in the Nordelta neighbourhood of Buenos Aires. There’s always more to do however and, as our business continues to grow, we keen to lean into the expertise of the IICF and their partnerships to help us reach ever more people and give back.
Wendy Wilder, Executive Director at IICF UK said:
“The insurance industry can make a real difference in fostering greater social mobility in the UK and ensuring that everyone has a chance to succeed, no matter their starting point in life.”
“As we welcome new corporate partners, it’s exciting to see more insurance leaders recognising that we can create greater social impact together as an industry. Aspect in particular is a team that believes the industry can do better, and their partnership with the IICF indicates that this means going beyond business to achieve a positive social impact.”
“We look forward to working with the team at Aspect towards our shared goal of helping communities and enriching lives together.”
