About Us - Planet Protection

Join the Movement for Change

At Planet Protection, we’re pioneering a new path in UK insurance by aligning financial security with environmental sustainability.

What makes us different?

At Planet Protection, we’re transforming insurance from a passive financial product into a powerful force for environmental good. Every policy we write actively contributes to nature’s regeneration, while our platform powered by PlanetTechAI enables unrivalled transparency as to the impact of your policy.

Unlike traditional insurers, we’re building an entirely new model of ethical insurance. We heavily vet our insurance capacity to ensure that your premiums, from payment to investment; ensuring they do not proliferate fossil fuels or controversial industries. 

As a B Corp pending insurance company, we’ve woven environmental commitment into our DNA. We believe insurance should do more than just protect your business—it should protect our planet too. That’s why we make sustainable business practices effortless, helping you align your insurance choices with your values.

Gwilym Pugh

Gwilym’s journey from environmental scientist to insurance innovator began in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. Standing among the world’s most incredible biodiversity, then witnessing devastating destruction within the span of an hour, he realised the urgent need to redirect the insurance industry’s trillion-pound investment power towards protecting our planet.

With a first-class degree in environmental science and two decades in financial services, Gwilym combines scientific insight with practical expertise to revolutionise how insurance works. His previous success includes building multiple financial services and insurance companies – but this time, he’s driven by a bigger mission.

As a fellow of the Royal Geographic Society, WWF UK ambassador, and speaker at COP26, Gwilym is committed to proving that finance can be a force for good. Through Planet Protection, he’s turning that vision into reality, one policy at a time.
