Suppress Your Broker Declaration Pages And Help The Environment

Want to become more environmentally responsible? Gore Mutual now offers you a green solution. You can request to have your personal lines declaration pages suppressed.

                                         On average, each declaration package you receive contains at least 8 sheets of paper. You can do the math, that's thousands of sheets per year. Multiply that over our entire broker force and you get the picture. Be assured, you won't be inconvenienced because all the information you need is available electronically through GoBroker.

Policy packages for clients, lienholders and mortgages continue to go out as usual.

Why not make a green difference? Please email Sue Albert at salbert@goremutual.ca with your request to stop your broker copies.
