CHU Wins Excellence in Environmental, Social, and Governance Change at the 20th ANZIIF Awards
CHU is proud to announce that we have been awarded the prestigious Excellence in Environmental, Social, and Governance Change (ESG) Award at the 20th Australian Insurance Industry Awards. This recognition highlights our unwavering commitment to embedding sustainability into our business practices.
Over the past year, CHU has made significant strides in this area, including becoming a signatory to the Strata Community Association’s (SCA) Sustainability Charter, forming a dedicated Green Team, and aligning strategic priorities with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The judges commended CHU’s submission, which incorporated data to demonstrate progress toward specific SDGs, including minimising environmental impact, promoting diversity and inclusion and fostering meaningful partnerships. The judges were also impressed with CHU's ongoing support of the community through its work with multiple charities including Forktree project, OzHarvest, Starlight Foundation and Go Foundation.
In 2023, CHU placed particular emphasis on improving sustainability within our supply chain. We undertook an extensive RFI process, vetting over 90 builders to select a new panel of Builders and Repairers for CHU Claims. A key part of this selection focused on quality, ethical practices, and sustainability credentials. CHU continues work closely with the newly appointed Builders Panel to achieve a common goal of net zero Scope 3 carbon emissions across our entire supply chain.
CHU’s CEO, Kimberley Jonsson commented on the win: “I am so proud of this award for CHU. As we celebrate this recognition, we remain focused on our customers and community. CHU is committed to leading the strata industry towards a sustainable and resilient future, and we will continue to innovate, collaborate, and uphold high standards of governance and social responsibility.”
In addition to the winning the ESG award, CHU was also honoured to be recognised as a finalist in two other categories: Claims Team of the Year and Underwriting Agency of the Year. These accolades are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team and CHU’s commitment to delivering service excellence and great customer outcomes.
