Students have targeted the recruitment efforts of fossil fuel companies and their financial backers on college campuses for several years. Now, financial institutions including insurance companies have become publicly associated with the polluting corporations that are driving climate change.
Students of all majors are good messengers to convey that this ongoing financial relationship presents a recruitment risk for insurers, especially the climate laggards in the United States. If insurance companies recruit on your campus, you’re in a position to show them – regardless of your major – that continuing business as usual with the fossil fuel industry will make them less appealing as future employers to you and your peers.
