Yesterday, our CEO John Neal met with UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer (10 Downing Street) at The Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Samoa to discuss how governments can work with the private sector to accelerate the net zero transition.   This was an important platform to showcase how Lloyd’s, alongside the broader insurance industry, plays a vital role in safeguarding climate-vulnerable nations by acting as capacity providers and spearheading innovative solutions.   During CHOGM, Lloyd’s - alongside the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) and Aon – also announced the launch of an first-of-its-kind Disaster Resilience Vehicle to deliver disaster risk financing to Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Pacific.   Read more about the Disaster Resilience Vehicle here: https://lnkd.in/e6UHEGDa #Lloyds #Insurance #CHOGM2024 #Samoa #PrimeMinister 📸: 10 Downing Street (Flickr)

Did you know more than 80% of the world’s imports and exports are at sea at any given time? 🚢 Today we’ve published our geopolitical conflict scenario, revealing that the global economy could be exposed to losses of $14.5 trillion USD over a five-year period from the threat of a hypothetical geopolitical conflict causing widespread disruption to global trade patterns and supply chains. 🛑 Our systemic risk scenarios aim to equip risk managers, governments, and insurers with data-driven impact assessments of the most significant global threats facing society today, while highlighting the insurance covers which can help businesses protect both themselves and their customers. 💡 You can read through the whole scenario and find out more here: https://lnkd.in/eU7uTSpi #LloydsFutureset #SystemicRisk #Insurance

About last week... 🌎 Our CEO, John Neal, and Corporate Affairs Director, Rebekah Clement, took part in a range of events and discussions as part of New York Climate Week – showcasing Lloyd’s role as the insurer of the transition. We hosted a flagship event to formalise our long-standing partnership with the World Bank Group Guarantees (which you can read more about here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eGdvXjQZ), and put forward how our valuable marine expertise can be used to de-risk the decarbonisation of shipping at the United Nations Ocean For The Future event. 🌊 It's always insightful to meet with colleagues from across our Sustainable Markets Initiative network and hear more about how our industry is a key pillar to insuring and ensuring the move to a lower carbon economy. #NYCW #Sustainability #Insurance

Did someone say fresh talent?! 📣 Earlier this month we welcomed our 2024 Early Careers cohort to Lloyd’s. The 28 apprentices and graduates, including one trainee from Probitas, joined an engaging 2-week programme with MDA Training as part of their Lloyd’s induction. Not only did this give them a deep-dive into the world of insurance, but also included insightful soft-skills and emotional intelligence sessions to get them ready for the world of work. You can find an informative video of our induction on our newly refreshed Lloyd’s Early Careers website, alongside case studies, application tips and information on how we support our trainees. Special shout out to one of our amazing apprentices, Jaycee Rigden who actually led on the revamp project! We’re thrilled to see new talent coming through our doors, and can’t wait to see them thrive. #LloydsPeople #EarlyCareers #Talent #Insurance
