Beazley plc is a leading London-listed specialist insurer with a global footprint, operating through Lloyd’s syndicates and its own insurance companies across Europe, North America, Latin America, and Asia. Beazley is particularly well-known for its specialty lines of business, including cyber, professional indemnity, directors and officers liability, and political risks. Environmental groups and activists have consistently criticised the company for what they see as a slow and insufficient pace in phasing out its underwriting of new fossil fuel projects.
