As an international, multicultural membership organisation with more than 32,000 members in over 110 countries, the IFoA recognises, values and embraces the benefits of diversity, equity and inclusion. Through its DEI strategy published in 2022, the IFoA aims to champion and embody the benefits of a globally diverse and inclusive profession for all – and encourage members to think about these issues in both their work and their workplace. This plenary will bring together experts from across the industry to give updates on initiatives spanning the DEI agenda, from encouraging social mobility across the financial services sector to improved understanding of access and inclusion requirements for disabled and vulnerable consumers. The session will also provide attendees with updates on the IFoA’s progress on implementing the DEI strategy since its publication. 

Speakers: Peter Hamilton, government disability and access ambassador for the insurance sector; Maz Bown, Aviva; Vincent Keaveny, Progress Together; Stephen Mann, CEO of the IFoA; Sue Lewis, Chair, Consumer Advisory Board and Lay Member of IFoA Regulatory Board
