Insurers ‘Coming Together’ To Tackle Diversity And Inclusion Goals The insurance industry faced a racial reckoning of sorts following the May 25 death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. The Black Lives Matter movement was growing and clashes with police were becoming weekly news items. Following Floyd's death, mass protests erupted across the nation. Big insurers, with an unfortunate racial history of their own, could have laid low and avoided the simmering controversy. Instead, leading insurance CEOs released an extraordinary statement of support for the Black community. It read, in part: “We stand committed to sustained partnership in the community to drive solutions to address systemic inequality. And we stand committed to fostering diversity and inclusion for our employees and the workforce.”
