iCAN welcomes Beazley as Bronze Sponsor for 2023
We are delighted to announce that Beazley have extended their sponsorship for iCAN as a Bronze Sponsor for 2023.
This sponsorship is effective until the end of 2023.
iCAN have previously worked with Beazley and we are excited to work again with Chelsey Sprong and the team to support their DEI initiatives. We are particularly proud of Beazley’s commitment to improving their workforce diversity by setting race and ethnicity targets.
Beazley aims to ensure at least 25% of the global workforce will consist of People of Colour by the end of 2023. In recognition that Black people are particularly underrepresented in Beazley and the insurance industry in general, they have set an additional goal of ensuring that at least a quarter of the 25% target is made up of Black people.
Beazley has a multi-pronged strategy to increase racial diversity, particularly through recruitment, retention and promotion to more senior positions.
