The captive will align with the typical group captive structure with the inclusion of a sustainability committee apart from risk control, underwriting as well as finance committees.

Zurich North America head of Group Captives Dawn Hiestand said: “The Envision Re captive will provide the usual advantages of a member-owned, Zurich-fronted captive, offering companies greater control of their auto, general liability and workers’ compensation risk management programmes, with the added value of services and support for members’ individual sustainability objectives.

“These companies will have access to innovative sustainability-oriented services from our risk engineering unit, Zurich Resilience Solutions, as well as the ability to share best practices with like-minded companies in the captive to help each of them make progress on their respective goals.”
