Social Impact

Allied World recognizes the importance of corporate social responsibility and the positive impact that companies can make within the broader community. We are committed to several initiatives that we believe support our environment, our communities and our people. Further, as part of the Fairfax Financial Holdings group of companies, we support group environmental, social and governance initiatives that aim to foster meaningful change worldwide.

Please review Fairfax’s latest ESG Report for more information.

Environmental Support
In an era where natural disaster risks continue to mount, we believe the strengths of certain ecosystems and habitats, such as wetlands and forests, are the most effective way to mitigate risk compared to a conventionally engineered approach. Specifically, we partnered with the National Wildlife Federation to research and better understand how these natural systems can be used as a risk mitigation tool to protect people and property, and how to best safeguard these environments, their wildlife and natural inhabitants. Please read our latest co-authored Report for more information.

Community Support
We give back to our surrounding communities by financially contributing to a broad range of philanthropic organizations as well as encouraging our staff to volunteer for community service initiatives. We partner with organizations or projects that support several social challenges such as food insecurity, homelessness, youth-at-risk, and age concern programs; healthcare needs such as disease research, prevention and support programs; industry education; and environmental solutions that seek to accomplish meaningful change.
