QBE was among supporters at the recent AFL Pride match between host club the Sydney Swans and St Kilda.

Australia and New Zealand CEO Pat Regan says the insurer’s participation as a Swans corporate sponsor underscores a commitment to greater diversity and inclusion.

“For QBE, maintaining a rich, diverse team, partner and customer base is not only the right thing to do, it simply makes good business sense,” he said. “Our people and partners need to be as diverse as our customer base. We’re not just talking the talk.

“We have a devoted diversity and inclusion team and passionate pride committee working hand-in-hand with our executive leadership team, people and partners to make positive changes and help us champion supportive, open workplaces and communities.”

QBE is supporting Lloyd’s global Dive In festival in September, an annual event to promote diversity and inclusion in the industry.
