A2ii-IAIS Supervisory Dialogue on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
DEI is particularly relevant to governance, culture and conduct, but also to financial inclusion and sustainable economic development as well as innovation and social responsibility.
To make insurance more inclusive to all population groups, reducing inequalities and bringing awareness to the disparities that still occur is crucial. A2ii’s work has focused on making insurance an accessible resource to those excluded from traditional insurance products since the beginning. One example of this has been the work done on making insurance gender aware, such as the gender disaggregated data toolkit that is being developed. The topic of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is therefore central to our work.
The IAIS has committed to deepening and strengthening its work on DEI in a number of ways, including exploring the insurance sector's efforts and steps taken by supervisors in support of DEI, incorporating relevant DEI aspects into ongoing IAIS projects and activities, and considering opportunities for cooperation on DEI with other international organisations and partners.
On 25 May, a Supervisory Dialogue on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion will take place. This dialogue will focus on the key insights from the IAIS's Stocktake on diversity, equity and inclusion in the insurance sector published in December 2022. It will also feature supervisors from jurisdictions who have been implementing relevant measures in support of DEI.
More information coming soon.
This webinar will be open to supervisors only. It will take place on 25 May at 14:00 CEST via Webex and will last 1 hour and 15 minutes. The webinar will have simultaneous interpretation to French and Spanish.
Registration is available here.
