How can you transform communities every day by working with Ecclesiastical? with Mark Hews from Benefact Group

Run time: 14.36

Description:

We are proud to be part of the Benefact Group – a charity owned, international family of financial services companies that gives all available profits to charity and good causes. We’re built on the idea that better business can better lives. We’re not driven by making a profit, but by how much we can give away to good causes making us a different type of insurer. In this episode, we discuss the recent achievements of the Group, and our future aspirations, namely, to give £250 million to charity by 2025, and to become the largest charity donor in the UK.

Quote:

“There's so many insurers, despite whatever they say, where the important thing for them is to make a profit and they're incentivised to pay the least amount possible to a customer. When you're owned by a charity, you take a completely different approach.”
