Suncorp New Zealand and its other subsidiaries, Vero and Asteron Life, have joined the Shielded Site network, an initiative that offers online support services for victims of domestic violence.

The websites of the three businesses now bear the Shielded Site icon. Clicking on the icon will allow a victim to safely access information and help without fearing the online activity will show up in the computer’s browser history.

“Joining the Shielded Site is an important way we’re supporting New Zealanders experiencing vulnerability and building the resilience of our communities,” EGM People Experience Catherine Dixon said.

“As insurers we have solid online reach and a very real focus on being there for people in the moments that matter.”
