Turning Insurance into a Force for Climate Action / Sustainability Lunch Series

Insurance is one of the most powerful levers we have to address the climate crisis and almost nobody is pulling it.

Every business pays premiums. Those dollars flow to carriers who decide what gets insured, what gets dropped, and where capital goes. Right now, that system rewards extraction and punishes communities trying to build resilience. But it doesn't have to work that way.

Nick Gardner, Co-Founder of Premiums for the Planet, will show you how mission-driven companies are turning insurance from a passive cost into an active tool for climate action. By aggregating businesses around shared values, they are unlocking better coverage, lower costs, and redirecting capital toward the communities and ecosystems that need it most.

Nick will also share his unconventional path into this work from the finance world at Bentley, to the Climate team at Salesforce and what he's learned about how to take your unique skills and apply them to the cause you care most about.
