The ABI is the voice of the UK’s world leading insurance and long-term savings industry. A productive, inclusive and thriving sector, we are an industry that provides peace of mind to households and businesses across the UK and powers the growth of local and regional economies by enabling trade, risk taking, investment and innovation.
We develop policy solutions for challenges facing society where our industry has a role to play – think how to insure automated cars and giving the public more transparency around their pensions, to name just a few. As a forward-thinking organisation, we work with government, regulators and policymakers, both in the UK and internationally, to ensure the insurance and long term savings industry meets the needs of the public to the highest standard.

The ABI values are at the heart of everything we do:
We are Brave

We’re an active voice in our sector and have signed up to various initiatives including the Women in Finance Charter and partnering with INvolve who support LGBT+ and ethnic minority inclusion in business. In 2017, we also we launched a Talent and Diversity network where we meet with our members to share ideas around how we can best support diversity and inclusion in our industry.
In 2018, we launched our own internal inclusion strategy. This is a two-year plan to help us achieve our vision and builds on the work we’ve done to support this. It focuses on three key areas: Inclusive Recruitment; Inclusive Development and Progression and Inclusive Workplace Culture.
With regards to recruitment, we appoint the best person for the job, and selection will be against requirements and person specification that is relevant to the position. There will be no discrimination, and all candidates will be treated in fair, timely and courteous way.
