There is a better way to do business and to make a difference. One that protects customers without making them pay ridiculous fees and commissions. Where colleagues get paid properly for all the amazing work they do. One that reduces the negative footprint offices add to the planet’s problems. And where insurance is easy to understand. We went that way.
We injected B Corp’s fundamentally different governance philosophy into our core from the beginning, meaning every decision at a Board level takes into account the triple bottom line. Most companies only think about the single bottom line of Profit but we at Dinghy are legally obliged to think of how our decisions may affect People and the Planet in addition to our Profit. Companies less than 12 months old cannot be full B Corps so we plan to be fully certified B Corp right after our first birthday party.
With great work should come great reward. The government’s National standard outlines an absolute minimum, which doesn’t fit the standards we want for employees. So we joined 3,500 other UK businesses as an accredited Living Wage employer volunteering the real Living Wage (actually way above) and the London Living Wage because we believe all staff deserve better.
Insurance was originally a social good, hard to believe right? It enhanced freedom, created security, promoted good health and increased prosperity. It continued…. It enabled people to drive cars, buy houses and go on holiday. But over the last 20 years or so insurance companies have changed; expecting the worst of people rather than the best with premiums rising year on year and less claims being paid out.
We are changing everything, no up front premium, pay what you used throughout the month billed by the second, in arrears, no interest, no credit checks, no fees. Professional Indemnity claims with no excess, Equipment claims resolved in 24 hours. Welcome to Dinghy, enjoy the ride.
