Our insurance partners
As an insurance broker, Naturesave seeks to select insurance partners that most suit our needs. Environmental credentials play a key part in this selection process, with a particular focus on supporting those insurers who are divesting their fossil fuel investments. We also aim to select partners who have committed to stop underwriting coal-fired power plants mines and coal mines. Considerations like service and value for money are also taken into account, as are specific areas of specialism. The following is a selection of the insurance partners we work with who are making positive steps forward with their environmental policies. Non of these partners are yet offering the perfect solution in that all of them are still invested to varying degrees in fossil fuels, however we continue use our long standing and growing presence in the market to apply pressure for change that we hope will ultimately lead to a truly fossil fuel free insurance product.

Canopius is a global speciality lines (re)insurer and one of the top 10 insurers in the Lloyd’s insurance market. Naturesave use Canopius to underwrite our household policies primarily because of their support for insuring non-standard construction and eco-houses.

As part of our ongoing concern to work with underwriters who understand climate change, we work with RSA Group, primarily with our renewable energy policies. RSA has a specific focus on ‘Sustainable Future and was the first Carbon Neutral insurance company.

In May 2018 Allianz announced it would immediately stop selling insurance to both single coal-fired power plants and all planned and operating coal mines. The company has also become one of the first insurance companies to commit to the science-based targets of limiting global temperature increases to below 2 degrees Celsius.
Organisations we work with
Restoring a magical forest habitat – Trees for Life are seeking to bring back the globally unique Caledonian Forest and all its wildlife to the Scottish Highlands. Naturesave has a long-standing relationship with Trees for Life and currently use them to plant a tree for every new insurance policy we issue.
