Political engagement In 2022, we continued to strengthen our government relations work to lead the way on climate resilience, public sector and disaster preparedness. The following are some of our most relevant actions: • Engaged the European Commission and Members of the European Parliament in support of the proposed Pay Transparency Directive that seeks to increase transparency around the gender pay gap. • Organized an opportunity for a NY congressman to meet with leaders in NYC to discuss our diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. • Met with leading employee benefit trade associations to discuss legislative priorities around expanding consumer choice for healthcare and retirement benefits. • Former President and CEO Dan Glaser led an in-person meeting with the US Treasury’s Federal Advisory Committee on Insurance (FACI) to discuss the benefits of community-based catastrophe insurance. To fully leverage this product, Washington is leading the development of a Community-Based Catastrophe Insurance (CBCI) Coalition to remove legislative and regulatory roadblocks. The coalition will consist of carriers, policyholders, modelers and other stakeholders who stand to gain from pre-disaster preparedness. • Prompted a meeting with the Biden Administration National Security Council on long-term disaster recovery strategies. The meeting highlighted the value of Community-Based Catastrophe Insurance in supporting effective mitigation and recovery principles for all consumers, including state and local municipalities. • Engaged the US Treasury and the US Federal Insurance Office regarding the (re)insurance market in Ukraine and how to support Ukrainian grain exports and global food security. • Joined a group of climate experts to advise the EU Commission’s newly launched Climate Resilience Dialogue. The group will provide the EU Commission with expert views on climate adaptation policies. The Dialogue held its inaugural meeting in November 2022 and is set to issue a report in 2024.
