Gen Z Gets It: Prospective Insurance Employees Pushing Industry On Climate Change

  Wednesday, October 23rd, 2019 Source: Insurance Business

A petition from young people preparing to enter a career in insurance is calling on US insurers to end their underwriting and investments in coal and other fossil fuels.

The petition was started by Schuyler Holder, a senior at the University of North Texas and a member of Gamma Iota Sigma, a national insurance fraternity.


“I’m excited to start a career in risk management, hopefully within the insurance industry, but I want to know that the company I choose to work for is doing everything it can to tackle the climate crisis that my generation is facing,” Holder said.

“Insurance, at its core, is about helping people in their most desperate times, and if US insurers step up they can play a huge role in stopping the worst impacts of climate change. It’s just smart business."

"Out of all the industries, the insurance industry should be the most aware of, and the most vigilant against, the risks of climate change for the sake of their customers.”
