Egyptian insurance industry to develop national sustainable insurance roadmap in partnership with UN Environment
Cairo/Geneva, 7 May 2019—Egyptian insurance industry leaders and financial regulators, UN officials and key stakeholders gathered in Cairo last month to discuss ways to tackle major sustainability challenges—from climate change, pollution, water scarcity and disaster vulnerability; to social inequality, health risks, and the insurance protection gap.
The event, Shaping the sustainable insurance agenda in Egypt, produced a pioneering initiative to develop a national sustainable insurance strategy and action plan—or a “roadmap”—by 2020. This roadmap aims to harness the triple role of the Egyptian insurance industry as risk managers, insurers and investors for economic, social and environmental sustainability—in other words, sustainable development. The event was co-organised by UN Environment’s Principles for Sustainable Insurance Initiative (PSI)—the largest collaborative initiative between the UN and the global insurance industry—and by the Egyptian Financial Regulatory Authority and the Insurance Federation of Egypt.
“Sustainability is part of my core mandate as Egypt’s insurance regulator. I am delighted that the Insurance Federation of Egypt will be working together with the Egyptian Financial Regulatory Authority and UN Environment’s Principles for Sustainable Insurance Initiative (PSI) to deliver a national sustainable insurance roadmap by next year,” said Dr Mohammed Omran, Chairman of the Egyptian Financial Regulatory Authority. “We expect this roadmap to enhance the Egyptian insurance industry’s resilience, stability and sustainability, as well as contribute to achieving the aims of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.”
Since sustainability challenges require collaborative action and innovative solutions, and also present new opportunities and markets for the insurance industry, the aims of the inaugural PSI Egyptian Market Event have been championed by Alaa El-Zoheiry, Chairman of the Insurance Federation of Egypt. As a result of constructive discussions during the PSI event in Cairo, the Insurance Federation of Egypt recently announced that it has already taken the first step in its sustainability journey by creating a Sustainability Committee.
“As a cradle of civilisation, Egypt has shown resilience and sustainability over several thousands of years. However, global sustainability challenges such as climate change, unprecedented loss of biodiversity, a polluted ocean and growing social inequality are threatening our common future,” said Butch Bacani, who leads the PSI at UN Environment and who chaired the inaugural PSI Egyptian Market Event. “By developing a national sustainable insurance roadmap, the Egyptian insurance industry is demonstrating the vision, leadership, collaboration and ambition needed to achieve sustainable communities and economies, and a healthy planet.”
This inaugural PSI Egyptian Market Event was the first of its kind in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region. It was designed to complement the aims of the UNEP FI Regional Roundtable on Sustainable Finance for Africa & the Middle East that was held in Cairo from 10 to 11 April, and the 2nd PSI African Market Event in Lagos, Nigeria from 29 to 30 April.

About UN Environment’s Principles for Sustainable Insurance Initiative
Endorsed by the UN Secretary-General and insurance industry CEOs, the Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI) serve as a global framework for the insurance industry to address environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities—and a global initiative to strengthen the insurance industry’s contribution as risk managers, insurers and investors to building resilient, inclusive and sustainable communities and economies. Developed by UN Environment’s Finance Initiative, the PSI was launched at the 2012 UN Conference on Sustainable Development, and is the largest collaborative initiative between the United Nations and the insurance industry.

All the earthquakes caused no disaster risk as the strongest quake occurred at 10:11:50 (Hanoi time) with a magnitude of 4.0 and focal depth at about 8.1 km.
Over one hour later, four other earthquakes occurred with magnitudes of 3.3; 2.8; 2.5 and 3.7 and a focal depth ranging from 8.1-10.1 km.
Dr. Nguyen Xuan Anh, Director of the Institute of Geophysics under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, said that the earthquake information centre has regularly reported earthquake activities to the local authorities and people.
The institute will continue to monitor and process earthquake data in Kon Plong district, he added.
He called on local people to stay calm and follow the instructions of local authorities and competent agencies. People also need to reinforce houses and equip themselves with more knowledge about earthquake prevention and response./.

“It’s a watershed moment for the industry. If we don’t respond, we’ll lose relevancy”, says Madhu.
The philosophy major and former management consultant and venture capitalist talks about his rise through the ranks at AIG and his journey to joining Corvus, a cyber insurance insurtech protecting policyholders’ digital operations and digital assets.
“I like the feel of a small group of people going after a big problem”, as Madhu explains how Corvus assesses the network topography and weak points of a client’s business, offering direct and continuous engagement with policyholders.
“We look at the company the way an attacker, malware or ransomware actor would.”
Madhu shares his thoughts on the future of insurance, emerging risk threats and the personalities he looks for when recruiting.
“When talking to candidates, I ask what are the things they’ve tried that didn’t work”, as he explains the importance of being comfortable with ambiguity and having an experimentation mindset.
“The risks, the approaches and the way policyholders are engaging is all changing. Imagination and new thinking will drive different outcomes.”

National Advertising Division Recommends RhinoSystems Discontinue Limited Claims that Nasal Irrigation Systems Can Help Prevent Viral Illnesses
Jan 12, 2023
New York, NY – January 12, 2023 – The National Advertising Division (NAD) of BBB National Programs examined a number of challenged health-related claims by RhinoSystems, Inc. and found that the challenged packaging claims and many website claims did not convey virus prevention claims. However, NAD recommended that RhinoSystems discontinue certain other health-related claims that appeared in one television and two radio commercials or on the Naväge website, including:
- The express virus prevention claim on the Naväge website “using products such as Naväge Nasal Care not only avoids steroids and pills, but helps to avoid allergies, post-nasal drip, and a cold or flu.”
- Any implied virus prevention claims in its 2022 television commercial, the two challenged radio commercials and on Naväge’s website.
- The claim on the Naväge website “doctors love nasal irrigation.”
The claims at issue were challenged by competitor NeilMed Pharmaceuticals, manufacturer and supplier of competing nasal irrigation systems.
The parties to the challenge did not dispute that saline nasal irrigation “flushes out” viruses or that it provides symptom relief and mitigation. At issue before NAD was whether the advertiser’s express and implied claims convey a message that the use of Naväge or nasal irrigation prevents or reduces the risk of contracting a cold, flu, or other virus and if so, whether those claims are supported.
Virus Prevention Claims
In reviewing the RhinoSystems claims for Naväge, NAD found that certain of the challenged website claims and all challenged packaging claims generally refer to flushing out germ and virus particles and do not rise to the level of virus prevention claims. For example, while some language goes so far as to say after flushing out the germs consumers will feel healthier, there is nothing indicating that use of the product will prevent contraction of the flu or other viral illness.
However, NAD determined that an implied virus prevention message is conveyed in Naväge’s 2022 television commercial, two challenged radio commercials, and by two claims on Naväge’s website which mention flushing out “infectious” germs and/or bacteria.
Cold and flu prevention claims are impactful to consumers and should be supported by competent and reliable scientific evidence that fits the claim. NAD reviewed the evidence provided by the advertiser for claims that the use of Naväge or nasal irrigation can help consumers avoid or prevent the contraction of infectious diseases like the cold and flu and found that the advertiser’s support for its claims included studies with methodological flaws with respect to the populations, controls, and different methods of delivery that were not a good fit for the broad prevention claims. Accordingly, NAD recommended that such claims be discontinued.
“Doctors Love Nasal Irrigation” Claim
NeilMed objected to claims on Naväge’s website that state, “Doctors Love Nasal Irrigation. Why? Because it’s clinically proven to relieve sinus congestion safely and effectively by flushing out allergens, mucus, and infectious airborne germs. And it does this completely naturally without drugs.”
While NAD did not agree with NeilMed that the “doctors love” claim indicates a doctor preference for Naväge specifically, NAD did conclude that it conveys the message that a significant number of doctors have come to a consensus; therefore, such a claim requires a well-conducted, random, and statistically significant survey of doctors as substantiation.
NAD determined that the evidence in the record regarding recommendations by medical associations and institutions of nasal irrigation is not a good fit to substantiate the more general claim at issue, and recommended that the claim be discontinued. NAD noted that nothing in its decision prevents the advertiser from making a more limited claim based on the specific recommendations of medical associations and institutions in the record.
During the proceeding, RhinoSystems voluntarily discontinued certain pandemic-related challenged claims, that appeared in a television commercial on the Naväge website therefore, NAD did not review these claims on the merits.
In its advertiser statement, RhinoSystems stated that it “will comply with NAD’s recommendations.” The advertiser further stated that while it respectfully disagrees with NAD’s conclusions regarding the lack of fit between its studies and the challenged claims and continues to believe that its claims are supported, “RhinoSystems is a supporter of the self-regulatory process and will take NAD’s recommendations into account in future advertising.”

QTS New Jersey data center roof catches fire
A fire broke out at a QTS data center in New Jersey in the early hours of Wednesday, November 23.
The fire was reported at 02:45 am, and extinguished by 05:00 hours, with no casualties. However, the local fire department reports the fire was extinguished with heavy flows of water, and extra care had to be taken on the site due to flammable building materials on site to build an extension to the facility.
“Early Wednesday morning, authorities responded to a fire on a concrete and steel structure under construction adjacent to QTS’ Piscataway data center,” QTS said. “The local fire department... fully extinguished the fire shortly after arrival.”
QTS has been building a two-story, 90,000 sq ft extension to a data center on the site. The fire broke out in this new construction, and did not spread to the adjacent operational data center, which was unscathed.
The spokesperson explained: “QTS determined that several pallets of roofing material stored on the roof for future installation caught fire. The cause has not been determined. No injuries or customer disruption was reported. The operational data center adjacent to the construction site was not impacted.”
QTS bought the data center site from DuPont Fabros in 2016. The 38- acre campus already holds two facilities, as well as the new building under construction. | https://pwa.magloft.com/collections/the-virginia-issue/qts-new-jersey-data-center-roof-catches-fire | 312 | 29 |

Welcome to Napier Earthquake Tour
In this audio tour, you will learn about Napier’s worst earthquake. On February 1931, most of the city’s buildings were completely destroyed. You’ll learn about the rapid rebuilding process and why the city is famous for its Art Deco style.
Some of the locations you will have the opportunity to visit include:
- the Municipal Theatre
- the Public Trust Building
- Clive Square
- St. John's Cathedral
You will also learn about the Fire which took hold shortly after the earthquake and ran rampant throughout the city, devastating those buildings that were still standing. Fascinating and tragic, this is a memorable story. Your Tour. Your Way.
- 1. Napier's firefighters watched helplessly as fire engulfed the city, with the fire station destroyed, fire trucks buried under rubble and no water to fight the fire as the town’s underground water pipes had been shattered.
- 2. The quake raised Napier by seven feet, changing the course of rivers and bringing 2230 hectares of land to sea level. Many areas that had previously been underwater were reclaimed, such as the area where the airport is now situated.
- 3. The Market Reserve Building was the first major permanent building constructed after the Earthquake and is considered to be a symbol of the Renaissance of Napier.
- 4. Emergency medical services at Napier were quick to mobilise with the hospital quickly being evacuated to the local racecourse following contingency plans for its evacuation in the event of an earthquake that had been made as far back as 1925. | https://www.citywalksworld.com/collections/new-zealand/products/napier-earthquake-tour | 324 | 29 |

The InsTech perspective… parametric risk transfer enabling loss prevention
Whilst the principal role of insurance is to help people and organisations recover after a loss, measures that prevent losses from occurring benefit insurers and policyholders alike. In practice, loss prevention is expensive and insurers may lack enough incentive to invest in measures that reduce their policyholders’ risk.
Carolyn Kousky, Associate Vice President for Economics and Policy, Environmental Defense Fund, explained on InsTech podcast episode 243 that whilst public sector insurance programmes often offer grants to policyholders to fortify their homes against catastrophic risks, this has not been achieved in the private insurance sector. Public sector programmes benefit from reduced claims and reinsurance costs in the long term, whereas private insurers that invest in loss prevention may not benefit if their policyholders switch insurers.
Guy Carpenter, in collaboration with Queen Mary University of London’s Dr. Franziska Arnold-Dwyer, has proposed a new financial instrument, the Climate Resilient Development Bond (CRD Bond) as a solution to this problem. It combines parametric risk transfer with financing for loss prevention projects to help communities become more resilient to climate events.
The CRD Bond structure focuses on a community vulnerable to a climate-related risk, such as flood or hurricane. The local municipality purchases parametric insurance against the peril on behalf of its community; any pay-out would be distributed as grants to affected citizens. It also plans a loss prevention project, such as building flood defences or renovating homes with hurricane-resistant roofs.
The insurer reinsures the municipality’s risk using an insurance-linked security (ILS) mechanism, whereby capital markets investors can earn interest by taking on the risk. If the parametric trigger is met, the insurer pays the municipality and is fully reimbursed by investors’ funds. Meanwhile, some of the investors’ funds are also used to finance the loss prevention project.
While more communities and businesses are now adopting parametric insurance to help them recover after catastrophes, insurance is only part of improving resilience. The CRD Bond is just the latest example of how parametric insurance products can be integrated with mitigation measures to help minimise and prevent loss.
Cyber • ILS • InsTech article
To underwrite more cyber risks, insurers need new sources of reinsurance capacity. Insurance-linked securities (ILS) allow insurers to access capacity from capital markets. Although parametric triggers have been considered for cyber risks, most early examples of cyber ILS transactions have used indemnity triggers. InsTech’s latest article looks at major recent transactions and considers what insurers and technology companies should take into account when structuring and bringing to market cyber ILS transactions.

The first ever European Fire Safety Week
The aim of the event – hosted by the European Fire Safety Alliance over four days, 18-21 November and dedicated to respectively Community Fire Safety, Fire Safety in Buildings, Electrical Fire Safety and Energy Transition, and Smoke+Furniture Fire Safety – was to share creative, pragmatic and successful initiatives to reduce fire risk in Europe as developed by national authorities, the industry, organizations and other professionals active in the fire safety sector.
To reduce fires in buildings through Europe, the European Fire Safety Alliance will propose, based on the findings of the 2019 European Fire Safety Week, an EU action plan, based on best practices, research and recommendations collected during the event.
This final document will be presented to MEPs and the European Commission at a Fire Safety Future meeting, to be held at the beginning of 2020. Click here to get more information.
Building Fire Safety day
This conference aimed at presenting how a holistic approach could improve safety of all European citizens in case of fire in residential buildings.
Topics addressed during the day included the identification of gaps, best practices, compliance to EU legislation and standards and proper enforcement as well as the roles and responsibilities of all actors involved in the value chain for fire safety.
According to this framework, buildings are considered fire safe if the following 7 layers are covered:
Abstract from the Europacable presentation
Cables provide an essential contribution to the DETECTION layer (fire alarm cables provide continuity of communication and data transfer during fire), the EVACUATION layer (Low Fire-Hazard cables (LSHF) reduce dramatically smoke and hazardous emissions in case of fire) and FIREFIGHTING (fire resistant cables provide continuity of power and communication to all crucial devices to help rescue teams).
The CPR for cables provides National Regulators a sophisticated tool to select the appropriate performance for every fire hazard. At the present time, National Regulations have been established across Europe specifying CPR Classes between Eca and B2ca. Europe’s leading cable manufacturers provide the full range of cables for each required performance. The top performing cables are the Low Fire-Hazard families certified in Classes B2ca and Cca that release limited heat and help to reduce significantly smoke and harmful emissions.
Performance is nothing without surveillance!
Enforcement is key to ensure that compliant cables are used properly. Defining the rules it is not sufficient.
- Rules need to be properly applied ⇒ Key the cooperation with Notified Bodies (3rd party laboratories who release test reports and certifications)
- Rules need to be known by all relevant actors ⇒ Europacable CPR Awareness campaign
- Rules needs to be respected ⇒ Support to Market Surveillance Authorities | https://cpr.europacable.eu/ie/european-fire-safety-week | 547 | 29 |

All 4 Subsidiaries Grow At Thompson Insurance
GIRARD – Thompson Insurance Group, a family business based in Girard, had a successful 72nd year as it gave back to the community, welcomed new faces and experienced growth within each of its four subsidiaries, says Andrew D. Thompson, vice president and partner.
The Gibson Agency, the company’s personal and commercial lines division, spent much of 2019 working on the redesign of its website. The new site will be more interactive and user-friendly and feature a client portal that will allow customers to make payments, submit policy change requests and much more. An online chat feature will be available.
The agency also added two employees: Leslie Sams joined the team as a personal risk manager and Bonnie Glavan as a commercial risk manager.
In terms of revenue growth, Thompson Private Client experienced the biggest gain in 2019 with a 32.2% increase. “We attribute this increase to successful individuals recognizing they’ve outgrown standard insurance products,” Thompson says.
With an increase of 31.9% last year, the commercial lines division was a major growth engine as it focused on the growing need for cyber coverage. With anticipation for even more growth in 2020, the agency recently hired two staff members to bolster its commercial department.
Thompson’s other divisions grew as well. PetBiz Insurance was up 11.6% while Gibson Agri & Equine Insurance grew by 6.1%. The personal lines division saw an increase of 5.8%, Thompson says.
As it strives to make an impact in the community, Thompson Insurance Group donated $45,000 to charitable causes. Among them were the American Red Cross Sound the Alarm Campaign, the annual Tri-County Heart Walk and Project MKC’s Adopt-a-Family program.

Insurance is a big term today. It is done to protect something’s absence in the form of a claim.
The funds are invested by insurance companies like Erie and Allstate in a protected and secure manner so that they can be claimed with the utmost care during a mishap occurrence.

Though both companies have a good track record but detailed comparison matters.
Erie is an insurance company that has major users as ordinary people who earn less than people with high standards. But in a catch, it has fewer discount schemes and options.
Erie also has a nice rating and fewer complaint tracks. It operates under 12 states of the US.
It operates in several countries and owns a rank in the world. The complaint track of Allstate is also a bit large.

What is Erie?
Erie is an insurance company that features affordable policies and good customer service ratings. It was established in 1925 in Pennsylvania, USA.
Erie is a very old and reputed insurance company in today’s time.
It has been featured in thousands of articles on the internet and is known for its affordable plans. The company offers almost all the policies of the insurance sector, like car insurance, health insurance, life insurance, and real estate.
Erie has a good track record, but people only complain about the lack of good discounts and profit options. Though it has affordable policies, people still demand more
because it is made with a central idea of capturing people with less or average per capita income. The flaw which most people notice is regarding the fewer discount schemes available.
Besides this, it is not operational in major parts of the world. It is a USA-based company and operates in almost twelve states of the US.

Introducing the ultimate showdown in the world of insurance - Farmers Insurance Group VS State Farm Insurance. Get ready to dive into the captivating history and uncover the differences between these industry giants. Strap in, because this epic tale will take you on a wild ride through time, showcasing their rise to prominence, innovative approaches, and how they've shaped the insurance landscape. So sit back, relax, and let's embark on this thrilling adventure.
Once upon a time, in the vast realm of insurance, two powerful entities emerged - Farmers Insurance Group and State Farm Insurance. These behemoths have been at the forefront of the industry for decades, each with its unique story to tell.
Let's start with Farmers Insurance Group. Picture a young company founded in 1928 by John C. Tyler and Thomas E. Leavey, who had a vision to provide quality insurance coverage to farmers in rural America. Back then, farming was a way of life for many, but it came with its fair share of risks and uncertainties. Farmers Insurance stepped up to the plate and offered comprehensive policies tailored specifically for those hardworking individuals.
As time went on, Farmers Insurance expanded its reach beyond just farmers and began offering coverage to non-agricultural customers as well. This strategic move allowed them to tap into a broader market while still honoring their roots.
Fast forward to today, and Farmers Insurance Group has become a household name across the United States. They boast an extensive range of insurance products, including auto, home, life, business, and even specialty lines like motorcycles and recreational vehicles. With their iconic jingle "We are Farmers. Bum ba-dum bum bum bum bum," they've etched themselves into our collective memory.
Now let's turn our attention to State Farm Insurance - another heavyweight contender in this battle for insurance domination. Founded in 1922 by George J. Mecherle, State Farm had a similar purpose: providing reliable and affordable insurance coverage to those in need. Mecherle, a retired farmer himself, understood the importance of protecting one's livelihood and set out to make insurance more accessible.
State Farm Insurance quickly gained traction, thanks to their innovative approach. They introduced the concept of agents who sold directly to customers, cutting out the middleman and streamlining the process. This novel idea revolutionized the insurance industry and allowed State Farm to offer competitive rates while maintaining excellent customer service.
As years passed, State Farm Insurance expanded its product offerings beyond just auto and fire insurance. They ventured into life insurance, banking services, mutual funds, and even opened their own credit union. With an extensive network of agents across the country, State Farm became a trusted name synonymous with protection and reliability.
Now that we've established the origins of both Farmers Insurance Group and State Farm Insurance let's delve into their differences. While both companies offer a wide array of insurance products, they have distinct approaches and strengths.
Farmers Insurance Group prides itself on its personalized approach to insurance. They believe in tailoring policies to fit each individual's unique needs. With a focus on customer service, Farmers Insurance agents strive to build lasting relationships with their clients, guiding them through the intricacies of insurance coverage.
On the other hand, State Farm Insurance emphasizes its vast network of agents as a key differentiator. Their extensive agent force ensures that customers have access to personal assistance whenever they need it. Whether it's filing a claim or seeking advice on coverage options, State Farm agents are there for their customers every step of the way.
Another notable difference lies in their marketing strategies. Farmers Insurance Group has gained recognition through memorable advertising campaigns featuring quirky characters like Professor Burke and their famous jingle. These creative endeavors have helped solidify Farmers Insurance as a brand that stands out in a crowded market.
In contrast, State Farm Insurance has made waves with their sponsorship of major sports events like NBA games, NASCAR races, and even the PGA Tour. By aligning themselves with these high-profile events, State Farm has successfully increased brand visibility and showcased their commitment to community involvement.
As we conclude this epic tale of Farmers Insurance Group VS State Farm Insurance, it's clear that both companies have made significant contributions to the insurance industry. Through their rich histories and distinct approaches, they've shaped the way we perceive insurance and have become trusted allies in protecting our lives and assets.
So whether you choose Farmers Insurance Group or State Farm Insurance, rest assured that you're in good hands. These industry giants continue to innovate, adapt, and provide comprehensive coverage for all your insurance needs. Remember, when it comes to protection - the choice is yours. | https://sheldonknows.com/farmers-insurance-vs-state-farm.html | 933 | 29 |

As part of the program, the team had the opportunity to be lectured by our seasoned unit heads on the day-to-day operations and the various functions of units with the focus on underwriting and insurance policy management. The students were also guided on making the right career choices with practical real-world experience.
The tour and accompanying teaching, enlightenment, and instruction by KEK Brokers illustrates a keyway forward towards properly linking up corporate Ghana with the teeming number of graduates being produced in Ghana each year. The conventional wisdom is that part of Ghana’s inordinate graduate unemployment problem arises from the wide gap between academic study, even of processional courses such as insurance, and the practicalities of the professional jobs they are required to do upon joining a corporation.
At the recent tour of KEK Brokers by insurance students, there were taken step by step through the task that insurance brokers carry out, how they are done, by whom and from where. This should serve as a model for other corporations who want new university graduates entering their manpower base that already know what is to be expected of them as professionals, and just need to add on the job experience to their capacities.
KEK Insurance Brokers has assured that it will collaborate with the Executives of the student association to have more of such engagements in the future. KEK as part of its corporate social responsibilities will give opportunities to the students to have their industrial attachments, internship, national service, and possible future employment opportunities.
The students’ executives expressed their appreciation to management and staff of KEK for hosting them and having such an educative program.
Most of KEK Broker’s top management staff are from the University of Ghana, including the company’s current Managing Director.

Focus: Introduction of our thermal coal policy
Swiss Re supports the worldwide reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to limiting global warming to 1.5–2°C above pre-industrial levels. To this end, we continually review measures to assist the transition to a low-carbon economy. Reflecting our commitment, in 2015 we signed the Paris Pledge for Action (www.parispledgeforaction.org) to affirm our support for the Paris Climate Agreement.
After a range of measures we have taken over the years in our product development, risk management and operations, we have recently taken a further significant step. In July 2018, we introduced a thermal coal policy for our underwriting, pledging not to provide re/insurance to businesses with more than 30% exposure to thermal coal utilities or mining. The policy is fully integrated into our Sustainability Risk Framework. It applies to both old and new thermal coal projects and across all lines of business (direct, facultative and treaty).
Thermal coal power plants are a significant source of CO2 emissions. In 2018, we introduced a policy for our underwriting, pledging not to provide re/insurance to businesses with more than 30% exposure to thermal coal utilities or mining.
The introduction of our thermal coal policy is the first step towards the development of a carbon risk steering mechanism, to measure our carbon intensity and associated risks embedded in our re/insurance business. Over time, this will help us align our business activities with the Paris Climate Agreement and related Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
Given that there is no established methodology for such a carbon steering model in the re/insurance business, developing a purposeful model will take some time, but will enable us to take a holistic carbon risk perspective on our business and avoid a piecemeal approach. | https://reports.swissre.com/corporate-responsibility-report/2018/cr-report/risk-intelligence/our-sustainability-risk-framework/focus-introduction-of-our-thermal-coal-policy.html | 370 | 29 |

Enables Integration of Formal Results, Coverage with any Simulator or Verification Planning Tool
MUNICH, Germany and SAN JOSE, Calif. -- October 23, 2018 -- OneSpin® Solutions today announced PortableCoverage™, the first formal verification solution to integrate with all major simulators, coverage databases and viewers, and chip design verification planning tools, enabling users to choose the vendor or multiple vendors of their choice.
“Simulation and formal verification are essential to our chip design verification strategy,” says Thomas Klotz, verification expert at Bosch Sensortec. “We need to continually assess overall verification progress in order to determine next steps and measure progress against our schedule. OneSpin’s PortableCoverage provides us with that capability in an open verification flow so we can use best-in-class tools from multiple vendors.”
“Formal verification is now a part of the mainstream flow and used by many verification engineers, so it must be integrated with simulation-based tools,” remarks Dr. Raik Brinkmann, OneSpin Solutions’ president and chief executive officer (CEO). “Engineers need robust, flexible flows to quickly address new requirements. OneSpin’s PortableCoverage provides the freedom to seamlessly integrate formal into efficient, future-proof verification flows.”
PortableCoverage enables the integration of formal and simulation for a precise, quantitative verification assessment and a comprehensive view of verification progress. This minimizes overlap between formal and simulation work, reducing overall verification effort. PortableCoverage integrates formal and simulation coverage metrics in the coverage database for a unified view of coverage status.
Two new formal apps, the Verification Coverage Integration (VCI) App and the Coverage Closure Accelerator (CCA) App, make this possible. Once the VCI App adds OneSpin’s Quantify™ coverage metrics into the user’s coverage database, the coverage viewer shows the integrated formal and simulation metrics, providing a unified view of coverage status.
The CCA App identifies unreachable coverage points and provides them to the simulator, accelerating coverage closure while eliminating wasted effort trying to hit unreachable coverage points.
PortableCoverage also includes OneSpin’s Verification Planning Integration (VPI) App that annotates formal results from OneSpin’s tools into the verification plan. The integrated formal and simulation results provide a comprehensive view of the verification plan. It also ensures engineers meet stringent safety standards by providing a link that tracks verification results back to design specification.
The Quantify App uses formal model-based mutation coverage for an accurate assessment of assertion quality and completeness. Coverage data can be integrated with traditional structural coverage metrics.
All of OneSpin’s apps leverage formal verification technology provided by the OneSpin 360 DV-Inspect™ and OneSpin 360 DV-Verify™ products.
PortableCoverage is shipping now. Pricing is available upon request. More information about PortableCoverage can be found at: bit.ly/2PO0Ezt
The first public presentation of PortableCoverage will be showcased Wednesday and Thursday, October 24 and 25, during DVCon Europe in Booth #402 at the Holiday Inn Munich City Centre in Munich, Germany. Exhibits are open Wednesday from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. and Thursday from 10:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m.

Headquartered in Munich, Germany, OneSpin enables users to address design challenges in areas where reliability really counts: safety-critical verification, SystemC/C++ high-level synthesis (HLS) code analysis and FPGA equivalence checking.

In exciting news for the travel industry, our travel risk scores are coming to Sabre-connected agents. In a press release on 15 June, Sabre partners with GOPASS Global, Sabre announced it will to help deliver our game-changing COVID-19 biosecurity risk analytics capabilities to the travel industry via their global distribution system.
Joining the Sabre Developer Partner platform will help GOPASS Global to further improve its competitive position in the global travel marketplace, while further expanding Sabre’s innovative open platform, which sits at the intersection of supply and demand.
GOPASS Global solutions support both corporate and leisure travelers to recommence travel with confidence through the use of advanced analytics to deliver a single view of all of the biosecurity risk elements of a trip.
Key benefits of this partnership include:
- GOPASS travel risk management capabilities are now available to travel agents across the globe
- By integrating with Sabre’s shopping APIs, GOPASS populates a risk score out of ten onto each travel option and displays the information to agents, who are then able to better advise their customers
- The Sabre shopping and booking window is simplified and shortened for agents by providing all information required at shopping time, helping them to be true travel experts for their customers and enabling travelers to recommence travel with confidence
- The partnership helps to break down walls in the travel technology industry at a time when collaboration is more important than ever
- Having risk information in front of travel agents as they plan trips with their clients will instill renewed confidence in travel for both the leisure and corporate traveller.
Mitigating travel risk is especially critical for corporate travel as we learn to live with this pandemic. Companies need to ensure they are taking their duty of care to employees seriously when it comes to travel. It’s essential therefore, that travel agents, and ultimately travelers, have all of the critical information they need at their fingertips when planning their trip to make the decisions that are right for them. With travel risk scores coming to Sabre-connected agents, corporate travel is set to be well informed about travel risk.
It’s clear leisure travelers also want to know about potential travel risks so they can avoid or mitigate them.

This includes arrival and exit restrictions, flight routes and transit, airports, airline and aircraft type, seat class and travel advisories. GOPASS Global data also looks at country conditions such as infection rates, government policies and data reliability.
Putting this all together, agents and travelers can obtain a risk score out of ten per flight itinerary, enabling them to clearly identify the lowest risk rates overall. | https://gopassglobal.com/travel-risk-scores-come-to-sabre-connected-agents/ | 565 | 29 |
Progressive is one of the largest auto insurers in the US. The company has been experimenting with AI since the middle of the 2010s, with customer-facing applications that update insurance premiums based on driving habits and answer questions in a chat window. In this article, we discuss both of these AI use-cases. More specifically:
- Snapshot: Progressive’s Snapshot program, which seems to use predictive analytics to adjust a customer’s premiums based on their driving behavior.
- Flo Chatbot: The company’s customer service chatbot, which could help customers with purchasing a policy or filing a claim.
Emerj’s AI Opportunity Landscape research in insurance shows that Progressive’s Snapshot program follows a trend in which auto insurers use predictive analytics applications to determine how risky a customer or insurance applicant is: Approximately 21.6% of AI products in insurance are applications of this type.
In contrast, although several of the largest insurance companies in the US have experimented with chatbots, the insurance industry hasn’t prioritized chatbots the way the retail industry has, as chatbots make up only 8% of the AI products in insurance.
We begin our exploration of Progressive’s AI initiatives with their AI-enabled Snapshot program for usage based insurance:
Snapshot: Usage-Based Insurance
Progressive claims to use a predictive analytics application that uses driving data collected from their clients to offer usage-based insurance (UBI). This means that Progressive could price their customers’ insurance policies based on how well they drive.
The program, called Snapshot, requires customer to install a device into their car’s diagnostics port or download an app to their mobile phone. As the customer drives, the device or app records information about the driver’s behavior and feeds it into a predictive analytics algorithm. The algorithm seemingly offers employees at Progressive a recommendation on whether to increase or decrease the customer’s premium payments after the initial 6 month period during which they have the Snapshot device or app installed.
The algorithm purportedly factors for:
- How often a customer drives and for how long at a time. This is one of the most common factors within “pay-as-you-drive” programs like these.
- How often a customer speeds. Regular speeding may signal that the driver is a greater risk.
- How forcefully a customer brakes, which could signal that the customer is not braking soon enough.
- How sharp the customer’s turns are, which, again, may signal that the customer needs to break sooner.
Progressive’s Snapshot program is the result of work with AI vendor H2O.ai. Below is a video that explains this work and how AI makes Snapshot possible:
H2O.ai claims that Progressive’s underwriters were able to create and analyze new risk models faster after adopting the vendor’s AI platform.
Progressive also worked with Microsoft Azure to create a natural language processing-enabled chatbot that emulates its popular mascot character, Flo. The Flo chatbot is a virtual assistant for customer service that customers could access through the company’s Facebook messenger account. It also references some of the commercials that Flo appears in and purportedly uses Progressive’s knowledge base to identify answers to customer service questions.
The Flo chatbot can purportedly help customers:
- File a claim
- Get an auto insurance quote
- Change premium payment due dates
- Answer basic questions about auto insurance, such as “What is a deductible?”
The company may also be able to leverage social media responses as data to improve the chatbot’s conversational capabilities. For example, some customers may not know about the chatbot and leave their question as a comment on a Facebook post. Progressive could use these comments as a means of further training the chatbot.
Emerj for Insurance Leaders

This gives them the information they need to keep up with top players in their industry, direct their efforts toward high ROI AI projects, and avoid AI applications that lack any evidence of widespread adoption.

“You can’t let one part of the business get too far ahead of others”, says Ty as he shares his journey to co-founding Openly after a 12 year spell with Liberty Mutual.
A full-stack home insurance company – founded in 2017 and launched in 2019 – Openly sells through independent agents in 17 US States.
Outlining the benefits to customers and agents, Openly offers better coverage, more accurate pricing and is drastically faster and easier to use. When it comes to home insurance, Ty maintains, “A lot of people, their data is stale. On average people are 10-20% under-insured.”
With a current headcount of 170, the business is looking to add 100 people over the next 12 months.
“We wait for the great”, says Marcella, who emphasises the higher cost a poor hire can have against waiting for the right cultural fit.
Maintaining culture is a key part of scaling. “It starts from the top”, explains Marcella. “Culture is going to happen, you need to be intentional about it.”
Ty and Marcella discuss remote-working, the value of an insurance career to an insurtech and the advice they would give to founders and leaders looking to scale.
“Make sure you are balanced as insurance and tech. You need both types of expertise. And build with long-term relationships in mind”, concludes Ty.

In the beginning of 2020, Luckin Coffee event brought the attention from the insurance, legal and security industries to the directors and officers liability insurance policy (“D&O”) in China. In this event, Luckin Coffee, which is listed in the US and called Chinese Starbucks, found trapped in the security fraud scandal, and some class actions have been filed in the US against Luckin Coffee and its officers.
When Chinese society found D&O insurance coverage behind those American litigations, Luckin Coffee event inspired curiosity towards to D&O insurance, and insurance sector quickly remembers this transplanted product.
The uneven road for D&O insurance in China
During the previous years, D&O insurance actually has been lukewarm in China market after its first appearance around two decades ago, and the patronage to this transplanted insurance product has been limited to Chinese companies listed in the overseas security market or some financial institutions under the stringent scrutiny from China regulator.
The reason for such embarrassing performance is obvious, which is relevant to the loophole in PRC legislature about the liability of corporate directors and officers.
First, even though some simple and general provisions exist in PRC Company Law to address the loyalty and diligence responsibility for directors and officers, but the lack of the concrete guidelines and detailed penalty usually results in the fact that rare claims have been filed towards directors or officers in reality. The derivative action has been injected into the docket of Chinese tribunal for quite some years, but the practicality of action is so premature that potential plaintiffs are hesitant to file a real action against those directors and officers.
Second, the governance structure of some companies is abused by the majority shareholder or actual controller, who would ignore the interest of minority shareholders or beneficiaries, and let alone the creditor’s right. When the majority shareholder or actual controller pull strings behind corporate mask, directors or officers are manipulated, and this multifaceted tragedy stop victims from claiming damages for directors or officers.
Third and last, the precondition for the security fraud litigation, which requests the regulatory penalty be imposed to swindler before the civil actions, has hider Chinese security investors from filing litigation during the past years.
To perfect the directors and officers liability, improve the corporate governance structure and address the protection towards investors, the hail for claim to directors and officers is loud, but the business volume for D&O underwriter has been miserable.
Coincidentally, in 2020 China D&O insurance market comes across two events, the revision of Chinese Security Law and Luckin Coffee event, which are beneficial for the take-off of D&O insurance.
The newly revised Chinese Security Law strengthens the liability for directors and officers, and this revision possibly leads to the increase of claims under D&O insurance, or at least in theory.
Luckin Coffee event dominated the headline of Chinese media for almost two weeks after it announced that its COO committed fraud, and the news ranges from the fraudulent details, China security authority denouncement and D&O insurance coverage. Even under the background of corona viruse, Luckin Coffee stimulates the fierce discussion among the insurance, legal and security circles in China.
Factually, D&O insurance goes to the spotlight this time, but there are not many people know that D&O coverage has been litigated quite some times in Chinese courts, while most of litigations did not go into public due to settlement. The disputed issues about those D&O insurance cases are comprehensive and of interest worth being noted.
The scope of insureds
One of the disputed points is about the scope of the insureds. In some countries outside China, there are three D&O models, called side A, side B and side C.
Side-A provides coverage to individual directors and officers when their losses are not indemnified by the company as a result of law prohibition or financial incapability of the company. However, exclusions may apply if a company simply refuses to pay the legal costs of a director or officer. Side-B provides coverage for the company (organizations) when it indemnifies the directors and officers (corporate reimbursement). Side-C provides coverage to the company (organizations) itself for security-related claims brought against it.
In China market, all those three coverages could be found. With respect to Side-B policy, the insureds are the companies rather than individuals. The occurrences regarding D&O often are about the scandals of China-domiciled corporations, which have been listed in American stock market, but were involved in security fraud, and aroused class actions in the US. For most cases, the final controller for such listed corporations are Chinese citizens or residents, but some CEO, CFO and COO are not Chinese citizens or residents. Thus when facing investigation or class action, the final controller sometimes chose to ignore the claims or investigations simply since the controller has no intention to sustain the corporation, but those directors and officers could not afford such ignorance. After paying for legal costs in the action against directors or officers on their own, directors or officers could not find or force corporation to reimburse themselves. When they approach Chinese insurers for insurance compensation, it is not a surprise to expect the refusal because those individuals are not insureds under Side-B policy.
The disclosure duty of applicant
In accordance to Article 16 of PRC Insurance Law, the insurance applicant shall fully disclose the risks relevant to the contemplated policy. Different from the other jurisdictions, PRC law only requests applicant to answer the specific inquiries from insurer. Without inquiry, even if applicant might know the potential exposure to risk, it is not obligatory for applicant to disclose such information. With respect to the D&O insurance sold in China market, the majority of applicants bought policy through brokers, and actually brokers handled the inquiry procedure and collected the disclosed information. Since China law does not allow the general inquiry from insurer, how to construct the valid and specific inquiries would be challenging to insurers and its agents.
The rhetoric issue always trigger dispute about the contents of disclosure, and it finally touches the utmost good faith doctrine in PRC Insurance Law. Among the often-asked questions by insurers, how to interpret the previous circumstances before the policy inception, how to define the information known or should have been known by applicants, and how to verdict the violation of Sarbanes-Oxley Act are focuses for the confrontation between insured and insurer. Since those D&O insurance policies are governed by PRC law, but their wording is full of jargons extracted from American law in the meantime, naturally the interpretation of policy also becomes hot debate in court trial.
For the information already known or should have been known by insurer, applicant is not obligatory to disclose such information to insurer. Some interesting episodes were about US investigation, which was denied to be known by applicant during the process of insurance application, but in fact the investigation information had been public in the website of SEC or other sources before policy inception. Should those imputed information be deemed as being known by insurer already, or would tribunal could impose a duty of due care to Chinese insurers to scrutinize the foreign authority websites in English?
The conflict and connection for the different layers coverag
In China market, some D&O policies are in the form of excess insurance, in which the primary insurer is first responsible for defending and indemnifying the insured in the event of a covered or potentially covered occurrence or claim. An excess policy provides specific coverage above an underlying limit of primary insurance. The dilemma for such multiple layers insurance is the primary insurer is foreign one, but the second or above insurers are Chinese ones. The second or above layers insurers shall follow the indemnification decision from the underlying layer insurer, or they could make decision at their own discretion?
Things would be more complicated if the different layers policies use laws from different jurisdictions as governing laws.
During the previous cases, tribunal preferred to take approach in which upheld the different layer insurers to have independent decisions to handle the claim unless otherwise stipulated in the policy.
The separation of liabilities
If one specific officer fails in his/her disclosure obligation or triggers the exclusion clause such as intentional act, could it excuse insurer from liability to other insureds? In most D&O policies, there are clauses to separate the insurance liability among the insured directors or officers, but those standard clauses encounter lots of challenges in trail. It is hard to believe that a CEO’s fraudulent behavior could be segregated from other subordinate officers, or a CFO could make fraudulent financial statements without approval or knowledge from the directors or CEO.
In those scenarios, how to allocate the burden of proof between insured and insurer would be of essence for trial result. It is obviously unfair to impose a higher standard of burden of proof to insurer, who is an outsider to a corporation. In the meantime, the absence of discovery procedure in China litigation disables insurer with practical means to discern the real picture of fraud, to clearly figure out the collusion of directors and officers.
Some desperate insurers want to depend on the police to dig out the fraud details, but Chinese police seldom investigates the suspected crime because the suspected crime happens outside of China, and victims usually are not Chinese citizens.
Today, accompanied by the security law amendments and some fraud occurrences, D&O insurance stumbles to spotlight again after a long period of silence in China. With the developing pace of security market and insurance market, the refreshed D&O insurance gives imagination to Chinese underwriters. | https://www.chinalawvision.com/2020/04/insurance-law/the-developments-and-typical-disputes-for-do-insurance-in-china/ | 1,940 | 29 |

The arrival of 2022 was greeted with optimism by airline insurance buyers. Claims were limited in 2021 and while active aviation insurers insisted that this was the result of the COVID-19 induced lockdowns putting the aviation industry into virtual hibernation, fresh insurance capacity was being attracted to the market. With exposure growth on the horizon, the ground was being prepared for increased competition, reduced pricing and a downward rating trajectory.
Then it changed.
The tension between Russia and Ukraine had been rising for months, but when the crisis erupted at the end of February 2022, there were very specific ramifications for the airline industry. The region over Ukraine was declared a no-fly-zone overnight and many aircraft were stranded on the ground. More significantly, it is thought that around 4001 leased aircraft, with an estimated value of more than USD 10 billion, were confiscated by the Russian government.
Aircraft being trapped on the ground in a war zone is the kind of risk that insurers account for when developing risk models, but the lessors’ losses were at the very extreme end of the loss scenarios. The sheer size of the lease claims is likely to have a profound impact on the direction of the market in 2023.
The first challenge that the crisis created for the aviation insurance sector was how would the lease claims be paid. Lessors notified both hull war insurers and hull and liability insurers of their intention to claim for the confiscation of aircraft by the Russian government and/or airlines.
Both markets were notified because of their different aggregate limits. If the losses are covered under the hull war policy, the claims will be subject to aggregate limits, meaning that lessors with the largest exposures would potentially only be partially covered for what is estimated to be at least USD 10 billion of losses. As we explained in a recent article that focused on the insurance ramifications of the crisis between Russia and Ukraine,2 if the claimants are successful in proving coverage exists under the hull and liability policies then there is no applicable aggregate and insurers could be required to pay the full amount.
The common view that evolved as 2022 progressed is that the insurance claim related to the losses is likely to sit within hull war, which saw dramatic price increases during placements in the final quarter of 2022. Aggregate limits in the hull war market could reduce the size of the claim.
The final quarter of any year has a high concentration of airline insurance programme renewals, offering insurers the opportunity to ensure that their airline books of business are balanced. This is likely to be important given the large lessor claims payments that lie ahead. Hull war prices are suggested to have doubled or even tripled in some cases as insurers have moved to balance their aviation books.
The second challenge has been pricing contagion in the excess AVN52e market, which offers extended coverage endorsements for aviation liabilities. This market is largely underwritten by the same insurers that support the hull war market, and significant, but slightly more incremental, increases in premium became standard from around March 2022.
The crisis unfolding in Ukraine and Russia forced insurers to reassess their positions and total exposure. Some insurers put their underwriting pens down temporarily and others withdrew from some parts of the market altogether. Capacity quickly became an issue as a result.
As capacity falls and pricing differentials become more pronounced based on policy limit structures, there will be a greater cost attached to “difference between” policy structures than “excess” based limit structures as insurers look to limit their own exposure. The drop-down pricing mechanism is also under focus and will carry greater cost going forward.
Trying to ascertain the direction of the reinsurance market is the third challenge. Several hull war insurers were accepting risks in Q4 2022, just before their reinsurance policies renewed on January 1, 2023. This means that they were underwriting without knowing their reinsurance costs. While the probability of price rises in the hull war market has been factored in, if the reinsurance market reacts more strongly than expected, there could be a stark effect on airline hull war pricing as 2023 gets underway.
Either way, from a coverage perspective, policy aggregates will continue to be restricted, confiscation aggregates will largely reflect the top valued aircraft and geographical exclusions will continue to hinder airlines with operations in Belarus and Russia, particularly where they are operating with high-valued assets and purchase large limits.
Pricing itself isn’t the only change. Coverage has reduced dramatically with aggregate limits slashed and geographical exclusions commonplace, particularly where an insurance programme has exposure to Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.
The fourth challenge that has faced the airline insurance market is the imposition of sanctions on Russia. Insurers have had to move quickly to interpret the sanctions put in place by the EU, UK and US governments throughout the crisis. Sanctions implementation was not uniform with insurers having to interpret them according to their corporate profile and the location of their head office. To an extent this fractured the market, with some insurers able to offer certain elements of coverage that others were mandated to deny.
Insurers' individual corporate approach wasn’t the only hurdle. As each insurer renewed its reinsurance protection programme, reinsurers were imposing geographic exclusions. As a result, some direct insurers were unable to offer coverage for airlines offering flights into and out of Russia, while others who renewed as early as April 1, 2022, were disallowed from offering coverage for overflights of Russia after their renewal.
This challenge eased as 2022 progressed and a better understanding of the sanctions frameworks emerged. The insurers that initially excluded Russia, whether from a moral or corporate jurisdictional standpoint, found themselves at a competitive disadvantage. In some cases, their stance has evolved and they are now granting coverage to flights to/from Russia or at least allowing overflying. This will allow greater flexibility for airlines renewing during the opening months of 2023.
Aside from the challenges created by the Russia/Ukraine crisis, market dynamics have been generally positive. There were only two notable incidents, the China Eastern Airlines loss in March 2022 and Tara Air loss in Nepal in May 2022. This contrasts with concerns that the hardware that had been left unused during the lockdowns combined with inexperienced or out of practice crews meant that the aviation sector could represent an enhanced risk.
Some placements made in the final quarter of 2022 actually enjoyed rate reductions where the programme showed positive growth and a good loss profile, but “as-before” rating generally seems to have been the norm as 2022 came to a close.
Insurers have been keen to stabilise hull and liability prices which form most of an airline insurance programme, mindful of the impact that potential claims emanating from Russia could have on their business costs as a result reinsurance price rises.
Despite this there is a potential that dormant or completely new capacity will become available in hull and liability market as appetite for premium income increases. As a result, in the right circumstances, limited rate reductions might be possible in 2023 where an airline is buying lower limits and can show sensible risk management strategies, improving loss histories and a willingness to engage positively with the insurance markets.
That said, conditions are likely to remain complicated for some time. The January 1, 2023 reinsurance and retrocession insurance renewals are likely to lead to price increases and possible capacity reductions, across much of the airline sector, not because of the imminent prospect of the Russian claims but because their own cost of business is rising and therefore insurers need to pass this on to the airlines.
The interesting juncture for airline underwriters will come when, and on which policies, the lessor claims manifest themselves and become payable and make the increases in insurers’ business costs more apparent. The strategic business approach to hold, retain or increase market share will be challenged by new market capacity and a potential continuation of falling ratings. Of course, this depends which side of the fence the insurers sit in this scenario, but there is little doubt that the outlook will vary according to the type of programme being placed.
As a result, we continue to advise airlines to engage with insurers early and take a proactive approach to the insurance markets. The withdrawal of some major insurers from the hull war and excess AVN52e classes, which we discussed in the Q4 2022 outlook3, show that underwriters are willing to review their positions and as a result, no assumptions can be made for the long term.
Coverage will continue to be a focus for insurers as they look to minimise their exposure and the pricing will take care of itself once everyone understands the implications, consequences and the cost of the crisis between Russia and Ukraine. There has been progress and some clarity has been achieved but it seems that 2023 will continue to be challenging.

Wooden furniture is beautiful and adds elegance to your home. However, fire accidents are always a matter of concern for your home and wooden furniture. Wood is prone to fire and catches fire easily, thus, spreading the fire at an increased rate. However, if you buy plywood sheets from CenturyPly, you don’t need to worry about fire accidents.
Why is this so? It is because CenturyPly’s plywood boards are manufactured with fire-retardant technology to prevent the spread of fire. Moreover, you don’t even have to pay extra for this technology. During unforeseen events of fire, fire-retardant technology stops the spread of fire, and if the source is removed, it will put out the fire by itself. It is only the single property of fire-retardant technology.
7 Ways Fire-retardant Plywood Helps Delay Fire
Here are a few ways fire-retardant delays fire and give time for the rescue operation:
Slow Penetration of Fire
In fire accidents, the spread of fire must be reduced, or it might lead to damage to human lives and property. The firewall technology of CenturyPly resists the penetration of fire, giving you and your family time to reach a safe spot.
Flammability refers to the time a plywood takes to catch fire. The lower the flammability, the lower will be the damages caused by it. The low flammability of fire-retardant technology helps to resist the spread of fire.
Low Smoke Generation
During fire accidents, the generation of smoke may lead to suffocation, making the process of evacuation difficult. However, the innovative technology of CenturyPly resists the smoke generation or toxic gases that are harmful to every individual. It ensures the safety of you and your family members by giving enough time for the process of evacuation.
Time to Escape in Unforeseen Events
A major issue related to fire accidents is the time to escape. This determines how worse the accidents will be. Your wooden furniture will catch fire quickly, thus not giving you the time to leave the place. To deal with such challenges, CenturyPly’s fire-retardant technology delays the spread of fire on its surface.
According to estimation, it will take approximately 50 minutes for the fire to reach the core of the wood. This will give you ample time to collect your valuables and belongings before leaving the place.
If you are worried that putting water on fire to extinguish fire will damage your plywood, you don’t need to worry. Any plywood boards infused with firewall technology do not absorb the water from the atmosphere, even when you put water on them. Since it does not absorb water from the atmosphere, there is no chance for your plyboard sheets to get damaged or flakey.
Once the fire extinguishes, your furniture will be safe from any damage and will continue to provide physical strength for several years.
The non-engineered particles present in fire-retardant technology resist ignition and ensure enhanced fire-resistance properties. This gives you enough time to come out of your house.
Waterproof and Weather-resistant
When you purchase plyboards with CenturyPly, fire-retardant technology is not the only benefit that customers get. As already mentioned earlier, your plywood will be safe from moisture and water and won’t be damaged due to it. Moreover, it is designed to tolerate extreme weather conditions.
In a Nutshell
The primary purpose of making a house is to provide a comfortable and safe place for your family and yourself. So, your house must have the capacity to deal with unforeseen events of fire accidents. The firewall technology is a great way to make your house a safe place for your family members. So, what are you waiting for? Get CenturyPly’s plywood sheets infused with fire-retardant technology to give your house a cliché look without compromising its safety. Visit the official website of CenturyPly to know more about the fire-retardant technology of CenturyPly. | https://guestblognow.com/protecting-lives-7-ways-fire-retardant-plywood-helps-delay-fire-and-provide-escape-time/ | 844 | 29 |
A massive fire broke out at the Bhalswa landfill site in north Delhi on Tuesday. The fire department received information about the blaze around 5.47 pm following which 10 fire tenders were rushed to the spot.
So far, it is not yet known whether the fire was caused by methane generation or some human activity, according to officials. A senior north municipal corporation said efforts to douse the fire were on till late in the night and the corporation has deployed excavators to dump the sand on the origin of the fire.
Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Tuesday asked the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) to submit a report on the Bhalswa landfill fire within 24 hours.
There are three major landfills in the capital- Ghazipur, Okhla and Bhalswa. While fire incidents have been common in these landfills, so far the authorities haven’t been able to come to a common ground on these landfills.
Recent Fire at Ghazipur Landfill
Earlier this year in March, a massive fire broke out at the dumping yard of east Delhi’s Ghazipur area on March 28 leading to a huge cloud of smoke enveloping the region and neighbouring areas. A thick blanket of smoke was seen at a section of the dumping yard, where the fire broke out.
However, even 24 hours after the incident, the fire continued to rage in some parts of the area despite more than 90 firefighters working to douse the fire.
Fires in Landfill ‘Very Frequent’
While the fire in March at Ghazipur landfill was a major one, there was another fire on April 20, which was the second in a month.
In November 2020, another fire on Ghazipur landfill took the capital’s Air Quality Index to dangerous levels. Barely three days after fire in Ghazipur, a section of Bhalaswa landfill caught fire.
A major fire broke in Ghazipur landfill was also reported in October 2017.
Toxins from Such Fires Can be Lethal
The sudden spike in the levels of toxins entering the air can be extremely harmful to all those who inhale it. According to Dr Arvind Kumar at New Delhi’s Ganga Ram Hospital, the sudden rise in the levels of particulate matter and the toxic gas just in the area is very damaging.
A longer exposure of these toxins can damage people’s lungs and also damage all the organs when it is absorbed by the body. In pregnant women, it could affect the foetuses.
Pollution after such fire in landfills could lead to an increase in the incidence of asthma, heart disease, brain disease, and casualties few days after the fire.
Landfills: A Live Bomb?
The presence of landfill can be dangerous and a fire more disastrous, here’s why?
According to a report in The Quint, when the garbage in a landfill gets fermented under a very high temperature and pressure, it produces methane, which is an inflammable gas.
So, when the day temperatures in Delhi touches 40 degrees during the daytime, the methane in these landfills is a recipe for fire.
When there are efforts to douse the fire, there are always chances of fire extinguishing at one place and lighting up at another.
And the smoke from the landfill, far more lethal than other sources, contain particulate matter, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and volatile organic compounds, among other things.
What has Courts, Authorities Said
In 2019, the Supreme Court had pulled up the Lieutenant-Governor Anil Baijal for not taking appropriate action to tackle the “mountains of garbage” in Delhi, and added the landfill sites in Delhi were a grave issue.
Last week, the National Green Tribunal noted that the dump sites in Delhi and other cities are like time bombs and took serious note of the recent fire incidents. It also constituted a Joint Committee headed by Justice SP Garg, former Judge of the Delhi HC with members from Central Pollution Control Board, according to a report in Live Law.
Meanwhile, the AAP and the BJP have for long been engaged in war of words on the issue. AAP had blamed the BJP-led municipal corporation for the negligence behind the landfills, while the saffron party blames the AAP government.

Chambers forms its own Fire Fighting Team
Chambers has formed its very own First Aid Fire Fighting Team (FFFT), by working with S. E. Business Services (SEBS) and drawing on the expertise of the Surrey Fire and Rescue Service.
SEBS, which is part of Surrey County Council, has exclusive access to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service’s highly trained fire fighters – who offered us their skills in emergency response, first aid and fire prevention. Together they have trained a number of members of the Chamber’s team to use firefighting equipment so that they can effectively respond immediately to an emergency as well as delivering vital first aid.
The team can now deal with emergencies before the fire service arrives on the scene, delivering water from a fire hose onto flames within 90 seconds. In the unlikely event of a fire, this quick response is vital to stop it spreading and can prevent a full-scale emergency.
The team has also been trained to hand over smoothly to the fire service, which really helps when they arrive on the scene, gaining valuable minutes when dealing with an emergency.
This initiative has so far been a great success, with our team learning valuable new skills that will keep our staff, premises and customers safe in the unlikely event that we ever need them. S. E. Business Services and Surrey Fire and Rescue have given our FFFT fantastic support and we look forward to continuing to work with them in the future. | https://www.chambers-group.co.uk/chambers-forms-its-own-fire-fighting-team/ | 294 | 29 |

BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.
To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.
To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.
The Property Claim Services unit of Verisk Analytics Inc. doesn't have to declare the cause of insured property damage a catastrophe for insurers to feel the losses.
That was underscored in the first half of this year as underwriters tallied costs of property-damaging events, whether they were weather-related or not.
For example, Chubb Corp. Chairman, President and CEO John D. Finnegan said in a statement that “our results this quarter were adversely impacted by catastrophe and noncatastrophe losses related to severe weather in the United States as well as an unusually high level of homeowners and commercial fire losses.”
Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. also noted that “elevated weather losses” affected its second-quarter performance.
Gloria Vogel, a senior vice president at Drexel Hamilton L.L.C. in New York, said noncatastrophe weather events involving hail, wind and fire losses are “very local in nature.”
“The industry's been calling these "kitty cats' — not catastrophes,” Ms. Vogel said. “But pennies begin to end up a dollar.”
A slowdown in rate increases, an uptick in weather-related and other property losses, and ongoing low investment returns weighed on the largest commercial property/casualty insurers' first-half results. | https://www.businessinsurance.com/article/00010101/NEWS06/308319989/Small-but-frequent-weather-related-losses-hit-insurers-profits | 386 | 29 |
HVAC insurance, short for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning insurance, is a specialized type of coverage tailored to protect businesses and professionals in the HVAC industry. HVAC contractors, technicians, and businesses that install, maintain, or repair heating, cooling, and ventilation systems rely on this insurance to safeguard against the unique risks and liabilities they face.
HVAC insurance typically includes coverage options like general liability, which protects against third-party claims for bodily injury or property damage, and property insurance, which covers HVAC equipment, tools, and vehicles. Additionally, it may include coverage for errors and omissions, workers’ compensation, and pollution liability, addressing the various challenges that HVAC professionals encounter. This insurance is crucial for maintaining the financial stability and reputation of HVAC businesses, allowing them to focus on delivering efficient and reliable services to clients while minimizing potential financial risks.
Specialized HVAC insurance is a tailored coverage package designed exclusively for businesses and professionals in the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) industry. This insurance recognizes the unique risks and challenges faced by HVAC contractors, technicians, and companies, offering comprehensive protection. It typically includes coverage for:
General Liability: Protection against third-party claims for bodily injury, property damage, or advertising injury that may occur during HVAC work.
Property Insurance: Coverage for HVAC equipment, tools, and supplies, ensuring that expensive assets are protected from damage or theft.
Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance: Safeguards against claims of professional negligence, mistakes, or errors in the design or installation of HVAC systems.
Workers’ Compensation: Required in most jurisdictions, workers’ compensation insurance covers medical expenses and lost wages for employees injured on the job.
Commercial Auto Insurance: If HVAC professionals use vehicles for business purposes, this insurance covers accidents, property damage, and liability associated with company vehicles.
Pollution Liability: Important for HVAC work involving refrigerants, this coverage addresses environmental liability claims resulting from refrigerant leaks or contamination.
Contractor’s Equipment Insurance: Offers additional protection for specialized HVAC tools and equipment used on job sites.
Business Interruption Insurance: Provides financial support if a covered event, such as a fire, disrupts HVAC business operations, leading to lost income and ongoing expenses.
Surety Bonds: Bonds provide assurance to clients that HVAC projects will be completed as agreed, offering financial protection to clients in case of non-performance.
Cyber Liability Insurance: Protects against data breaches, cyberattacks, and unauthorized access to client information, including notification expenses and legal fees.
Legal Expense Insurance: Covers legal expenses associated with disputes, contracts, or legal matters arising in the HVAC industry.
Workers’ compensation insurance is a must for HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) businesses and professionals for several important reasons:
Legal Requirement: In most jurisdictions, workers’ compensation insurance is a legal requirement for businesses with employees. HVAC companies typically employ technicians, installers, and other personnel who may be exposed to workplace hazards. Failing to carry workers’ compensation coverage can result in fines, penalties, and legal consequences.
Employee Protection: HVAC work involves various physical tasks, including installation, repair, and maintenance of HVAC systems, which can carry inherent risks. Workers’ compensation provides essential protection to employees by covering medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages if they are injured or become ill due to work-related activities.
Financial Stability: Without workers’ compensation insurance, HVAC businesses may be financially responsible for covering the medical bills and wages of injured employees out of pocket. This can strain a company’s finances and potentially lead to financial instability or bankruptcy.
Attracts and Retains Talent: Offering workers’ compensation coverage demonstrates a commitment to employee well-being and safety. It can help HVAC companies attract skilled technicians and retain experienced staff who are more likely to work for businesses that prioritize their safety and financial security in case of workplace injuries.
Mitigates Lawsuits: Workers’ compensation insurance is a no-fault system, meaning that employees are generally not allowed to sue their employer for workplace injuries in exchange for guaranteed compensation. Having this coverage can prevent costly and time-consuming legal disputes and potential lawsuits.
Covers Occupational Hazards: HVAC professionals may be exposed to various occupational hazards, including the risk of falls, electrical shocks, burns, or exposure to refrigerants. Workers’ compensation insurance provides coverage for injuries resulting from these hazards.
Protects Business Reputation: In the event of a workplace injury or illness, workers’ compensation helps ensure that injured employees are taken care of promptly and fairly. This can preserve the reputation of the HVAC business and maintain trust with clients and the community.
Compliance with Industry Standards: Many HVAC industry associations and organizations require members to have workers’ compensation coverage as part of their membership criteria. Compliance with industry standards may be essential for networking and gaining client trust.
In summary, workers’ compensation insurance is a crucial component of risk management for HVAC businesses. It not only ensures legal compliance but also protects employees, stabilizes finances, and helps maintain a positive reputation within the industry and the community. By providing financial support and medical care for injured workers, it demonstrates a commitment to employee safety and well-being, which can contribute to the overall success and longevity of HVAC companies. | https://gettia.com/hvac-insurance/ | 1,162 | 29 |

The authorities have also asked the company to bring the proceeds of the sales back to China, reports Bloomberg, citing people who asked not to be identified.
Anbang is a holding company for subsidiaries that deal primarily with insurance, banking and financial services.
Among its overseas assets, Anbang owns Dutch insurer Vivat, South Korea’s Tongyang Life, and Iowa-based Fidelity & Guaranty Life. In April 2016, the group also acquired Allianz’s South Korea operations.
Other holdings include the Waldorf Astoria New York hotel plus a further 16 landmark US hotels.
The company had also recently been in talks with a real estate company part-owned by US president Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior White House adviser, Jared Kushner, reports the BBC.
The company’s former chairman, Wu Xiaohui, was arrested on 8 June 2017 as part of an investigation into economic crimes.
The request to Anbang coincides with a ramp up in the supervision of the management of asset liability by insurers by the China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC).
Citing an online statement from the CIRC, newswire Reuters reported that the Chinese insurance sector is facing increasing difficulties in matching assets and liabilities due to “major conflicts” between highly volatile investment income and fixed liability cost.
In particular, some insurance companies that lack effective corporate governance have adopted aggressive operational and investment strategies, causing a huge risk exposure and liquidity issue, the CIRC said.
In recent years, around 20 Chinese insurers have taken sizable stakes in listed companies, funded by issuing high-yield, short-term universal life insurance and other investment products.
“Asset liability management is a fundamental ability and the core competitiveness for insurance companies, especially for life insurance companies,” the regulator said in an online Q&A statement.
The CIRC has set up a committee to supervise insurers’ asset liability management and is drafting additional rules to be put in place by the beginning of 2018. | https://international-adviser.com/china-gov-tells-anbang-insurance-sell-overseas-assets/ | 414 | 29 |

’The team bring a wealth of experience and a specialism,’ says managing partner
Chartered insurance broker Partners& has acquired Hall Insurance Services as it looks to bolster its presence in the south east, a statement released yesterday (3 October 2023) said.
London-based Hall Insurance Services is an independent broker that provides commercial and personal insurance services and solutions to corporations and private individuals.
Its specialisms include property, construction, liabilities, professional indemnity, household and motor.
Isha Patel, managing partner for the south east at Partners&, said purchasing the firm was “in line with our culture at Partners& and marks another important milestone in our growth plans”.
“The Hall Insurance team bring a wealth of experience and a specialism in the property sector, which significantly strengthens our expertise in this area within the south east region,” she added.
“The team pride themselves on strong client relationships with a phenomenal retention rate, which is testament to the great service and high-quality advice they have offered over the years.”
This came after Partners& told Insurance Times that it was looking to grow its business through selective recruitment and acquisition activity where there was a “strong alignment” of culture and values.
As part of this, the firm acquired NexGen Insurance Solutions last month (21 August 2023).
Its latest acquisition of Hall Insurance Services came after managing director Mark Hall became impressed by Partners&’ vision for the group.
“We are very excited at the prospect of joining forces with the Partners& team,” Hall added.
”Hall Insurance’s alliance with Partners& will not only provide increased opportunities in the market, but also an additional level of service that will only benefit all our clients.”

Since ChatGPT’s launch in November 2022, AI has been gaining a lot more attention from the media, popping up on friendly talking circles and, of course, in the insurance community. AI is now a perpetual feature of our life, offering greater efficiency, automation and autonomy for businesses and their clients. Insureds are also increasingly raising questions about insurance coverage and possible future restrictions, and underwriters are concerned about potential new exposures. So, seeing the numerous questions and concerns from clients and underwriters, Joanne Cracknell and Roberto Felipe joined forces to propose a few thoughts on how AI is impacting the Professional Liability universe.
Although it is a growing underwriting concern at the moment, it is recognised that AI may reduce risk for insureds and insurers alike, particularly as AI can take many forms and can include machine-based learning, deep learning, narrow AI, and artificial general intelligence. The speed that AI can process vast amounts of data to identify potential problems and anomalies cannot be done by any human, which enables predictive analysis and fast (non-human) decision making leading to positive results. If the use of AI is based on a robust corporate policy by the insured, it should offer extra comfort to underwriters in terms of risk prevention and management.
Nevertheless, it is crucial to initiate a dialogue and inform underwriters about AI's usage in rendering professional services. AI's integration extends to various industries, including Construction, where it enhances efficiency and quality across various stages. From Pre-Design with feasibility studies to validating building code compliance during Permitting and Approvals, or even optimising Project Management, AI streamlines tasks, making them more efficient and cost-effective.
Hence, regardless of the underlying business using AI, discussing how AI is employed, including the insured's policy, protocols, and controls, with underwriters is imperative. This not only raises awareness of potential exposure but also highlights risk mitigation through disciplined and effective technology utilisation.
Therefore, the conversation on how the AI is being used (including full insured’s policy on the matter, protocols, and controls) is necessary to be held with underwriters, so they are not only aware of potential exposure, but can also appreciate how risk is being mitigated with a disciplined and effective use of this technology.
Underwriters concerns in AI usage are centred on professionals recklessly using chatbots which can result in inaccurate advice and wrongful professional acts. An illustrative example emerged earlier this year, involving a US lawyer who sought to establish legal precedent using ChatGPT without adhering to established protocols.
Similar situations could arise if accountants exclusively rely on chatbots for tax solutions or engineers employ AI for project specifications, bypassing corporate/market-tested and approved tools.

Shortly after unveiling the Cybertruck, Tesla discovered that customers wanted wraps for the all-electric pickup. Tesla teased customers with wrap ideas while testing the Cybertruck on roads before deliveries. Tesla’s camouflage wraps for the Cybertruck piqued people’s interest enough for them to consider Cybertruck camo wraps. | https://shop.teslarati.com/en-ca/blogs/news/tesla-cybertruck-wrap-idea | 344 | 29 |

Since its foundation in 2015, Getsafe has grown up a lot. Now the company has renewed its brand image and sharpened its vision. With a new logo, a new design and a new voice, Getsafe is positioning itself as a digital insurance provider for a new generation of insurance customers throughout Europe.
"Our new brand stands out, catches the eye and perhaps even polarises. This is something completely new for the insurance world, which usually acts conservatively or plays on fear," explains Christian Wiens, CEO and founder of Getsafe. At the core of the new brand are freedom and self-determination, new perspectives on familiar problems and a positive attitude towards life for Getsafe's customers – in a world that is full of surprises right now. "Life happens. Misfortunes and accidents happen. Something breaks. Life will still be all about taking risks, but we help our customers to take the right ones and make better choices. We have a very clear vision: We empower people to live life to the fullest by covering them and their universe, no matter who and where they are.
Embracing life with all its risks – that is the underlying concept of the new brand. Even the logo itself includes an accident, with a “dent” in the letter G. A specially created, irregular font is used to place particular emphasis. The imagery changes perspective and shows the events from the perspective of the claim. The colour palette also represents the before and after of the accident; each colour is available in a positive, light variant and an enriched contrasting colour.
Getsafe wants to encourage people to get involved with insurance again. Insurance companies tend to have a bad reputation, often being perceived as as a necessary evil. The insurance companies themselves contribute to this bad image with lengthy, paper-based processes and incomprehensible products. But on the other hand, insurance companies offer a safety net that helps individuals balance opportunities and risks.
The new brand reflects this concept of being forward-looking and positive, but it does not stop at words and images. It symbolises the complete reorientation of insurance. Since its foundation, the Heidelberg-based company has been combining technology and insurance. Smart applications and sensors, real-time data analysis and more precise risk profiles will all help protect people and the things close to their hearts from potential risks. "Insurance in this sense is not there to regulate claims, but to allow people to do things that they might not otherwise do. It's about weighing up risks and living in the knowledge that you’ve got it covered in case anything happens" says Christian Wiens.
It was only at the beginning of this year that Getsafe applied for its own insurance licence and launched its digital contents insurance in the UK. The new brand embodies freedom – not only for customers. It is designed to grow and change, just as the company has since its foundation. In the long term, Getsafe wants to offer a holistic insurance solution in the lines of home, mobility, health and life and operate throughout Europe. "The past year was a year of growing up for Getsafe. We have become the best-selling German insurance brand among millennials and I am proud of the entire team," says CEO and founder Christian Wiens.
Getsafe is a fully digital insurance company that helps people cover themselves and their universe simply from their smartphone. Using technology and machine learning, the company offers digital insurance products in all lines of business – property, health and life. The Getsafe app is available to customers 24/7 and 365 days a year, allowing them to file claims or change their coverage in real time. | https://partechpartners.com/news/the-new-getsafe-for-a-new-generation-of-insurance-customers?page=21 | 747 | 29 |

“In Nigeria where there are sudden physical changes in forex, inflation, and other macroeconomic indices, insurance is the only thing that helps you not to roll backward. For you to make sure that you are not rolling back ensure that the human resource which is key to business is intact and sustained. For a manufacturer, your equipment must be in shape devoid of damage that may scuttle productions at any given time.
With the present global economic situation insurance is key to keep you rolling, ensuring that you don’t have to replace assets and ensure that your business is well protected against any form of peril that may cause a setback to your business.

London, U.K. – 17 October 2011 – Insurance Services Office (ISO) Limited, the U.K.'s leading provider of personal injury claims solutions, has been short-listed for two major industry awards. The ISO MoJ claims system for settling motor personal injury (PI) claims is a contender for the Business IT Innovation of the Year in the 2011 BCS & Computing UK IT Industry Awards. The system has also been short-listed for the Insurance Times Service Provider of the Year Award.
The achievements are the latest in a series of endorsements for the ISO MoJ product. Earlier this year LV= won Technology Initiative of the Year at the Claims Innovation Awards for implementing ISO's MoJ system. ISO was short-listed for the Claims Technology Initiative of the Year Award at the Insurance Times Claims Excellence Awards, as well as the Technology Award at the British Insurance Awards.
The ISO MoJ claims system was the first generally available application-to-application case management solution that communicates with the insurance industry claim portal and fully automates all three stages of the MoJ PI claims settlement process. It currently processes approximately one in four of all motor PI claims in the U.K.
ISO's web-based case management application enables insurance companies to meet the new deadlines set by the MoJ, some as short as 15 days. Companies can see at a glance which cases are approaching deadlines for responses and payments throughout the process. And because it links directly to the industry's claim portal, ISO's case management application significantly streamlines and accelerates the claims process. Companies no longer have to access the portal directly to see if claims have been reported to them. The application electronically exchanges information with solicitors and automatically populates appropriate work queues, without the need for handlers to manually log on each time a response needs to be sent.
Commenting on the news, Joe Pendle, director of Client Services, ISO, said, "To be short-listed for two prestigious awards in the space of one week is a testament to everyone involved in the development of the MoJ system at ISO. The MoJ system was developed at a time when significant changes in MoJ legislation meant that the insurance industry had to become much more proactive in meeting tight new timescales very quickly."
"The nominations follow ISO’s PICAS system winning the Consumer IT Innovation of the Year Award at last year’s BCS UK IT Industry Awards," he added. "This year’s awards recognise the quality of ISO’s advanced technology that has enabled insurance companies to handle motor insurance PI claims in a way that would not have been possible had they continued to use the web portal manually."
Since 1971, ISO has been a leading source of information about property/casualty insurance risk. For a broad spectrum of commercial and personal lines of insurance, the company provides statistical, actuarial, underwriting, and claims information; policy language; information about specific locations; fraud identification tools; and technical services. ISO serves insurers, reinsurers, agents and brokers, insurance regulators, risk managers, and other participants in the property/casualty insurance marketplace. ISO is a member of the Verisk Insurance Solutions group at Verisk Analytics (Nasdaq:VRSK). For more information, visit www.iso.com and www.verisk.com or contact:

Did you know that these glasses are called commercial glasses? They differ from the glasses used at home or are called residential glasses.They are different in many aspects, like size, durability, maintenance, etc.
Read further to know more about commercial glass.
Commercial Glass is bigger
One of the most significant differences between commercial glass from others is its size. You can easily identify a commercial glass just by its size. Skyscrapers require giant glass panes. It is why commercial glass is the best option.
Commercial Glass is much stronger
Commercial buildings are heavier than standard houses. The glass intended for giant structures is called commercial glass, which can handle the structural weight of buildings.
Additionally, they are prone to accidents and harsh weather. It is why manufacturers made commercial glass to be more durable and stronger.
Commercial Glass requires a professional installation service
Because of its size, commercial glass needs professional installation services for it. More people or a crew is needed in installing just one giant glass pane.
Also, professional commercial glass repair knows how to fix and replace commercial glass properly. They are well-trained and have extensive experience in their field. They also provide dos and don’ts in maintaining commercial glass.
