Why the UK Insurance Broker is Turning Away Businesses That Sell Animal Products

UK insurance broker Really Honest has announced that it will no longer accept new clients that produce or sell animal products, as well as other "destructive" services such as fossil fuels and weapons. The founder of the firm, Steven Darrah, explains that this decision is part of the company's values and commitment to working with purpose-led businesses.

The move, which is supported by the company's clients, is seen as a drastic one that may result in some short-term revenue loss. Despite potential criticism from the public, Really Honest remains dedicated to only working with businesses that align with their ethical values. This decision follows a global trend where insurance providers are offering discounts to vegans and vegetarians due to their lower-risk lifestyles, with some companies even launching specific schemes for plant-based individuals.
