We’ve organized a movement to transform insurance into a force for climate stewardship

Climate-conscious organizations are joining every day to make a difference with the money they’re already spending on insurance.

Proven Impact

We cut our teeth by rehabilitating banking deposits. Now we’re doing the same for insurance.

In 2018 we sparked a movement for better banking, helping countless customers move millions away from banks that don’t steward the environment, and into banks working for a healthier world. We empowered high profile brands to shift their banking relationships, pressuring incumbent banks toward greater climate responsibility and inspiring the growth of a marketplace of greater green banking options.

Now, Premiums for the Planet® has expanded that movement to insurance, organizing businesses and other institutions to use their collective voice and insurance dollars to reward climate stewardship. How it works.

We immediately improved our global risk and insurance structure to both make a difference and drive better value to our bottom line. Premiums for the Planet is an easy and pivotal place to band together and bring the scale to change the game. Peer or competitor, let's do this together and ride into a better future."

“The Premiums for the Planet roadmap and potential are really incredible, and it could transform insurance to be part of the solution. It's really straightforward. We take money we're already spending, and we give it brand value and positive climate impact. This movement is a remarkable opportunity.

“Premiums for the Planet is a simple and powerful lever for companies and individuals to be part of the climate solution. This unique insurance instrument is core to POW’s theory of change to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and we’re proud to endorse and support it.”

"Premiums for the Planet is a novel and exciting way to have more impact within a company's existing insurance spend. Insurance is a major lever we can pull to make a difference, and this is an elegant and compelling approach to doing just that. The ability of the program to drive insurer action and accountability through coordinated membership represents a major opportunity for all of us."

James Mandel
Former Managing Director
Rocky Mountain Institute

"With climate change already impacting the winter outdoor industry and our window to act closing fast, the actions we take now should be nothing less than transformative. The first thing that businesses should be doing is ensuring that their banking, investments, and insurance premiums aren't unknowingly accelerating our climate problem. Premiums For The Planet makes it very easy for any business to redirect their insurance premiums to partners that share their values. With trillions of dollars being invested by financial and insurance institutions in fossil-fuel-related projects annually, this is a giant lever that every business can use, right now."
