Do good

We are looking to integrate purpose into everything we do – and this includes generating value for our customers, broker partners and vendors.

ESG highlight

Sustainable Investment Policy


At Gore Mutual, we turn our profits toward a better tomorrow. Our Sustainable Investment Policy ensures that material ESG (environmental, social and governance) factors are considered in investment decisions made on our behalf.

Gore Mutual Broker and Customer Experience Program

At Gore Mutual, we are committed to providing exceptional experience for our customers and brokers that align with our​

values and vision. The newly implemented Gore Mutual Broker and Customer Experience Program, a comprehensive and innovative system, enables us to measure and enhance our performance across the business.​

Responsible Procurement

In 2023, our focus turned to evaluating our current strategic vendors against ESG criteria, in alignment with the new Category Management Process. We launched a pilot with a draft Vendor Code of Conduct that outlines key expectations of our vendors in the areas of environmental sustainability, human rights and labour practices, ethics, and governance.

More resilient underwriting

Underwriting is at the core of our business and how we can better prepare ourselves and protect our customers for the unexpected. We also know that there are opportunities to leverage our underwriting and core business to adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change.​

Loss Prevention

Available through VIP Endorsement, after a loss that is not otherwise excluded, we will pay up to $2,500 for expenses incurred for the installation of an approved loss prevention device to protect the dwelling from the same loss occurring again

Weather-related natural disasters are becoming more frequent and arriving with greater force. To prepare for a mass evacuation as a direct result of a sudden or accidental event, we have increased the timeframe for living expenses incurred to 30 days from the date of the order of evacuation.

Go Green coverage

The Go Green coverage through the VIP Endorsement gives customers the option to replace items like flooring with certain qualifying products following a claim.1 We will pay up to an additional 2% of a single limit or an additional 10% of a single limit for condos when qualifying products have been used to repair or replace their lost or damaged dwelling, up to a maximum of $50,000.
