LV= has expressed its support for the Chartered Insurance Institute’s (CII) Insuring Women’s Futures initiative by signing up to two pledges.

These are the financial flexible working pledge and the inclusive customer financial lives pledge. LV= joins the likes of Aon, AXA, Beazley, Legal & General, Swiss Re, and Zurich in backing both pledges.

“We are committed to action and bringing these pledges alive,” stated LV= chief executive Mark Hartigan. “We will focus on activity where the most impact can be made to benefit the long-term financial futures for everyone.”

Meanwhile, financial advice network Openwork has also signed up.

Commenting on the development, CII chief executive Sian Fisher said she is pleased to see the number of firms signing up continuing to grow.

“I encourage any insurance or personal finance employers to consider how joining this growing group of companies that have committed to the Insuring Women’s Futures pledges will add value to their business and support their colleagues and customers,” added Fisher.
