New York, NY, October 2, 2024 – ACORD, the global standards-setting body for the insurance industry, has been selected as an honoree for Workplace Culture Innovation in the 2024 PropertyCasualty360 Insurance Luminaries Awards.
The PropertyCasualty360 Insurance Luminaries Awards celebrate innovation in the property and casualty insurance industry. This recognition highlights pacesetters that strive to digitalize, modernize, and humanize the sector, leading the greater insurance industry forward.
ACORD was founded over 50 years ago and has served as a foundational organization to the insurance community. With this unique experience, ACORD has built a workplace culture that prioritizes innovation and compassion. ACORD’s culture is based on four core pillars: inclusion and belonging, advancing professional development, encouraging volunteerism, and welcoming new and fresh perspectives.
“For more than 50 years, ACORD has made it our mission to improve the lives and careers of insurance professionals by enabling not just efficiencies in data exchange, but also in their individual workplace experiences,” said ACORD CEO Bill Pieroni. “By encouraging volunteerism and idea-sharing, prioritizing the health and wellness of our colleagues and community, and supporting crucial equity and advocacy initiatives, ACORD looks at workplace culture through an industry-wide lens. This is particularly relevant at a time when our industry is recognizing the critical importance of acquiring, developing, and retaining talent.”
The 2024 Luminaries honorees were selected by a panel of industry experts based on how well they stated and achieved goals with regards to the nomination category; how impactful their work has been; how dedicated the nominee has been to furthering modernization and humanization in the P&C insurance business; and how committed and dedicated the nominee has been to high ethical standards, service, and excellence.
