What does Intact Insurance do?

Intact Insurance is an insurance company which has retail partners including John Lewis, Nationwide and Tesco. It was launched as Sun Fire Insurance in 1710 and has continued to exist under various guises, growing via the acquisition of other companies, to become the Intact Insurance of today.

In which areas does Intact Insurance perform well?

Intact Insurance receives a top rating in the Carbon Disclosure and Reduction Targets category, as it publishes its Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and has set targets for reducing them in the future.

In which areas does Intact Insurance perform poorly? 

Intact Insurance was only awarded a middle rating for our criteria concerning Political Donations, as its parent company, Intact Financial, donated more than our threshold for a top rating in recent election cycles.

Additionally, Intact Insurance receives a middle rating in the Environmental Report criterion, due to insufficient evidence on the company’s sustainability commitments.

What can Intact Insurance do to improve its ethical score?

To improve its overall GSG score, Intact Insurance should work on improving the areas in which it receives a middle or bottom rating.

If sufficient improvements were made, Intact Insurance would be able to join the certified ethical brands leading the way in progressive and sustainable practices and be permitted to display The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Mark in its communications.
