History of Aon

Aon’s roots can be traced to the integration of Ryan Insurance Group and Combined International Corporation in 1982. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the company expanded globally through organic growth and acquisitions.

The firm has been able to acquire some of the most well-known companies in the insurance and consulting industries – including Hudig-Langeveldt; Rollins Burdick Hunter; Reinsurance Agency; Miller, Mason, & Dickenson; Alexander & Alexander; and Benfield.

Aon aims to be the most responsive, client-focused insurance and consulting services firm in the world.

Culture at Aon

Aon strives to make a meaningful difference for clients and communities around the world by focusing on risk, retirement, and health. It has scored 100 from the Human Rights Campaign for 13 consecutive years and has provided $1.4 billion in disaster relief, the largest ever earthquake catastrophe bond that aims to help countries recover quicker from devastating earthquakes. It has also offered $120 million philanthropic funding since 2009 and achieved a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions since 2015.

In 2019, the company developed innovative approaches to help people impacted by earthquakes in Latin America through quick reconstruction. Its apprenticeship program also gives participants promising careers and the opportunity to contribute not only to the company but also its clients.
