Bupa Insurance Board Diversity Policy
BUPA INSURANCE LIMITED (“BINS” or “the Company”) BOARD DIVERSITY POLICY
The Company believes in having a diverse and inclusive Board to bring a range of perspectives and insights to challenge management and support good decision making. It makes great business sense, not least because it means that, as a private medical insurance company, BINS is better able to understand and meet customer and wider stakeholder needs if the Company reflects its customer base.
Appointments to the Board are based on merit and objective criteria reflecting the skills, knowledge and experience needed to ensure a rounded and effective Board. Diversity in the Company embraces knowledge and understanding of relevant diverse geographies, peoples and their backgrounds and includes race, social, educational and professional background, disability, gender, sexual orientation, religion, belief and age, as well as culture, personality, work-style and cognitive and personal strengths. Diversity also includes a diversity of perspectives on what motivates and interests the Company’s existing and potential customers. The Board is focused upon increasing Board diversity without compromising on the calibre of directors. Within this context the Board aspires to having an appropriate proportion of directors who have direct experience of some of the Company’s key markets with different ethnic or social backgrounds and who may be non-UK nationals, of any gender, reflecting the Company’s wide business base.
This policy was adopted by the Board in January 2019.
