STRIVING FOR BETTER

Good is a start, but we go all-out for better. A driven community of individuals relentlessly push the needle and creating value. From launching the market’s first dedicated ESG syndicate to the establishment of our business unit focusing on designing digital insurance solutions, we pride ourselves on always going above and beyond. Simply put, at Beazley we go to 11.

DOING THE RIGHT THING

Acting with integrity in a straightforward, decent way is instinctive. Open and honest with others, we show respect and empathy however challenging the situation – demonstrated by our multi-award winning claims team. Doing the right thing makes for a fair-minded, rewarding environment and makes work and life better for all.

Examples or Scenarios

Bottle Cap Manufacturer - Policy Trigger - Defect
A copacker bottling company printed incorrect labelling on the underside of beer bottle caps stating “Carbon Zero Certified” rather than standard trivia questions. Beazley covered the cost of replacing the bottle caps.

Snack Food Manufacturer - Policy Trigger - Packaging Defect
The insured manufactures and distributes snack foods, and when a supplier changed the recipe for a base good to contain an undeclared allergen, the insured’s packaging became mislabelled. The insured was reimbursed in interim payments for its business loss, costs related to creating new packaging, and to refund its customers.

Elevator Manufacturer - Policy Trigger - Defect
The insured installs and services residential elevators, and a software malfunction caused doors to open when the elevator car was not present. Beazley’s crisis management consultants dispatched electricians across the U.S. to upgrade the software. The cost to upgrade software exceeded $250,000.
