We are thrilled to announce that Planet Protection has achieved B-Corporation Pending status, marking a significant step forward in our mission to transform the insurance industry. This certification acknowledges our commitment to meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
Why This Matters for Insurance
The insurance industry wields enormous financial power, with UK insurers alone managing £1.8 trillion in investments. However, this influence hasn’t always been directed towards positive environmental outcomes. Traditional insurance models have long supported harmful industries, such as fossil fuel expansion and controversial weapons, through their investment practices. Moreover, policyholders rarely have visibility into how their premiums are invested.
This lack of transparency and environmental consideration is precisely what Planet Protection was founded to address.
Our Commitment to Change
As one of the UK’s first B-Corp pending insurtech solutions, we’re not just talking about change – we’re actively creating it. Our innovative PlanetTechAI platform and nature-positive insurance policies are designed to revolutionise how insurance can drive environmental change while providing robust protection for businesses and organisations.
By achieving B-Corp Pending status, we join a powerful movement of over 2,480 certified B Corporations in the UK who believe business can and should be a force for good. This isn’t just another certification – it’s a formal commitment to our founding principle that insurance should actively contribute to environmental regeneration.

Looking Forward
This B-Corp Pending status is just the beginning. We’re continuing to develop and enhance our PlanetTechAI platform, which will provide unprecedented transparency in premium allocation and ensure that every insurance policy contributes to positive environmental change.
As Gwilym Pugh, our Founder and CEO, explains: “Achieving B-Corp Pending status represents more than a certification—it’s a formal commitment to our founding principle that insurance should be a force for environmental good. The traditional insurance model has contributed to environmental degradation through opaque investment practices. We’re here to prove there’s a better way.”
