Making a positive difference
We make a positive difference daily by protecting people from the devastation of uninsured and hit-and-run drivers. Our mission is to make roads safer by getting uninsured and hit-and-run drivers off the roads. And until that’s accomplished, we help people affected rebuild their lives, compensating victims quickly, fairly, and compassionately.
With our purposeful mission at the heart of what we do here at MIB, we still seek to expand on the positive difference we can make to people and planet. And in 2023, we evolved our approach to corporate responsibility and launched our environmental, social and governance (ESG) framework.
We underpinned our ESG framework with commitment to contribute towards these six United Nations Global Goals for Sustainable Development, where we believe we have the highest potential for impact.
Early intervention through education
We believe that early intervention through education directly feeds into our vision of ending uninsured driving for good. At MIB we know we have an opportunity to make a positive difference by improving awareness for the drivers of tomorrow. That’s why we are proud to have teamed-up with the PSHE Association (personal, social, health and economic education) to co-create resources for teachers. And in the community, we have partnered with The Safety Centre, Hazzard Alley, committing to reach 1,000 young people in 2024.
Together, we can improve the road safety knowledge and awareness of young people and, together, make roads safer for all.

People and the community
We continue to strive towards being a diverse and inclusive organisation, where our people know they belong, supported through fair and equitable policies and processes. We are committed to closing the gender pay gap and transparently reporting annually including through the Women in Finance Charter.
Our employee networks play a vital role in bringing to life our Belonging, Inclusion, Diversity and Equity (BIDE) principles – by helping to make MIB be a more inclusive as well as engaging place to work for all. Our employee network committee members, receive up to four hours of company time each month to support the work that they do.
Our employee community engagement program — Goodness — empowers our people to support the social and environmental causes they care about. Launched in March 2023, our Goodness program has enabled 30 colleagues to volunteer in the community, provided £5,000 of matched funding and supported employees to select a new charity partner, UnityMK.

Industry, innovation and infrastructure
Our plan for 2024 is about taking everything we've achieved to the next level – going further than ever to keep uninsured drivers off our roads, improving the support we provide for victims, strengthening relationships, and continuing to prepare for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
Environment
In 2022 we made enhancements to our head office in Milton Keynes, contributing towards a reduction of 70% greenhouse gas emissions. In 2023 through our investment in accredited carbon removal projects, our head office in Milton Keynes is certified as carbon neutral. We will continue to explore further ways to reduce our emissions across the entirety of our estate in 2024 as well as supporting our people to make positive changes at work and at home.
