Who We Are
Our Story:
leading with purpose
We began by transforming banking practices. Now, we’re bringing that momentum to insurance.
In 2018, we helped ignite a movement for better banking, supporting brands to move hundreds of millions of dollars away from banks funding environmental harm, and toward institutions committed to a healthier world. That campaign empowered high-profile brands to rethink their financial relationships, pushed traditional banks toward greater climate accountability, and accelerated the growth of greener alternatives.
That’s when we recognized an even greater lever hiding in plain sight: insurance.
Unlike banks, insurers don’t just manage capital they also underwrite risk and influence which industries scale and which collapse. Their power is largely invisible but massively consequential. Through Premiums for the Planet, we’re now helping organizations use their collective voice, and their insurance dollars, to drive a systemic shift toward climate stewardship, equity, and resilience.

"With climate change already impacting the winter outdoor industry and our window to act closing fast, the actions we take now should be nothing less than transformative. The first thing that businesses should be doing is ensuring that their banking, investments, and insurance premiums aren't unknowingly accelerating our climate problem. Premiums For The Planet makes it very easy for any business to redirect their insurance premiums to partners that share their values. With trillions of dollars being invested by financial and insurance institutions in fossil-fuel-related projects annually, this is a giant lever that every business can use, right now."
