P&C insurance is a complex business framed by detailed documents and precise regulations. But it's also essential to the underpinnings of a healthy economy and society. Today's insurance endeavors should therefore honor the industry's history while embodying contemporary processes and services. People, programs and companies that strive to modernize and humanize the insurance business set a bright example within the industry and are worthy of being named Luminaries.

The new NU PropertyCasualty360 Luminaries program honors innovation in insurance.

Honorees will be those that shove off dated insurance-industry stereotypes and push for fresh thinking and practices around the most impactful issues of our time.

Five categories

Formerly known as PropertyCasualty360 Insurance Innovators, this recognition program honors companies, people, programs and practices that are modernizing and humanizing the P&C insurance business.

Nominations are open in the following five categories:

• Technology Innovation — Honorees in this category are pace-setters who push the industry forward in terms of digitalization and modernization.
• Customer Experience Innovation — Honorees in this category illustrate ingenuity and humanity in their efforts to make insurance more approachable for the average consumer while fostering processes that are more streamlined and accessible.
• Innovation in Diversity, Equity & Inclusion — Successful businesses and individuals recognize that monolithic thinking, representation and action fail to foster true success. Honorees in this category are inventive and accomplished in both words and deeds when it comes to pushing DEI initiatives and placing DEI at the center of their business and culture.
• Risk Management Innovation — Honorees in this category find fresh and inventive ways to address insurer and insured risks while fostering advanced thinking and action when it comes to risk-related communication and mitigation.
• Environmental Stewardship — Honorees in this category recognize the growing danger of climate-change driven catastrophes and are doing more than monitoring this risk and the resulting claims. They strive to be proactive and find global-warming solutions that place the insurance industry at the forefront of the battle to protect the planet and its inhabitants.
