And what impact could this have on the insurance industry? 

Steph McGovern explores Modern Methods of Construction, also known as 'Modern Methods' with: 

Steve Kelly, Head of Insurance, Engineering, Construction and Power at Allianz Insurance

Jonathan Purvis, Policy Advisor, General Insurance Team at the ABI 

Trudi Sully, Impact Director at the Construction Innovation Hub

Modern Methods of Construction

Autonomous vehicles or self-driving cars are supposed to be just round the corner, but we’ve been saying this ever since the first episode of Insurance Tomorrow.

Our host - Steph McGovern - seeks to establish where are we and what are the issues with experts:

Insurance Tomorrow: Best of 2023

In this episode we look at how the insurance industry can drive the transition to Net Zero, and the importance of ESG for Business.

Net Zero is now a well-known phrase, but we ask how we can translate into it with urgency. It’s something Governments can push but business and the insurance industry can help change mindsets and processes.

While the transition to net zero can appear like a huge long term task for firms just starting on their net zero journey, our host - Steph McGovern asks what practical things can insurance companies do now to have a positive impact on climate change.
