Dual Pricing, with Lawrence Finkle
31/07/2019 Duration: 27minIn this episode of CII Radio, we talk to Lawrence Finkle about dual pricing. Lawrence is Public Affairs Executive at the Chartered Insurance Institute. The issue of pricing and transparency in general insurance has never been under greater scrutiny. In September 2018, Citizens Advice submitted a Super Complaint to the Competition and Markets Authority, calling on them to identify remedies and recommendations to put an end to the penalty paid by loyal and disengaged consumers in 5 essential retail markets; one of which was household insurance. Since then, the CII Public Trust Index has laid the framework which identified rewarding loyalty as the biggest opportunity for the insurance profession to build public trust.

Climate change and the legal liabilities
26/06/2019 Duration: 12minIn this episode of CII Radio, we're talking to Nigel Brook, partner at Clyde & Co, about climate change liability. Today, most businesses are vulnerable to climate change risks. Companies in the energy sector, or other carbon intensive parts of the world economy, now face repeated litigation. Increasingly, we're seeing pressure brought to bear on financial institutions too. For example, investors and more particularly insurers, regarding their involvement with energy intensive companies. Claims may stem from physical damage to infrastructure and property, or from financial damage to share prices and underlying asset prices. Climate change is now a critical boardroom issue. Nigel joins us to discuss the key risk factors, from an insurance perspective, and helps to outline some of the opportunities for the industry, around responding to climate change.
