Chubb Life Insurance New Zealand Limited has formed a partnership with Kiwi charity Keep New Zealand Beautiful, known for its environmental conservation efforts.

Since its inception in 1967 with the government-backed initiative aimed at reducing litter, encapsulated by the “Be a Tidy Kiwi” campaign, Keep New Zealand Beautiful has evolved.

The organisation now plays a crucial role in addressing the complex environmental issues that have emerged as New Zealand’s economy and population have expanded, including climate change, waste management, and the loss of biodiversity. Its mission focuses on educating and inspiring New Zealand’s younger generations, as well as fostering communities that are knowledgeable about climate issues.

Chubb Life’s partnership with Keep New Zealand Beautiful

Under the partnership Chubb Life, which has been operating in New Zealand for over 100 years, will be Keep New Zealand Beautiful’s charity partner to boost environmental education.

“The enthusiasm of the Chubb Life team is palpable,” said Keep New Zealand Beautiful CEO Heather Saunderson. “We’re proud to partner with a company that focuses on protecting the life’s work of New Zealanders and is passionate about extending this to the environment we all live in.

“Keep New Zealand Beautiful’s focus on free, accessible environmental education for schools and community groups aligns with Chubb Life’s belief that insurers can play an important role in educating and supporting Kiwis on how to protect themselves, and this amazing country we call home.”

Chubb Life CEO Gail Costa highlighted the importance of contributing to the community’s welfare and preserving the natural beauty of New Zealand.

“We are pleased to join forces with Keep New Zealand Beautiful to give back to our communities and protect and enhance Aotearoa’s precious environment. This partnership is one of many steps we’re taking to build an even stronger connection with the communities we live and work in. We are proud to share this journey with our team, advisers, and customers,” she said.
