The foundation’s mission is ‘to make a positive impact on the Bermuda community by supporting organisations and outreach projects focused on the environment, diversity and inclusion initiatives, education, and Bermuda’s vulnerable populations.’ The foundation intends to invest in results-based projects that will make a meaningful impact in the community and reflect Conduit Re’s Environmental, Social and Governance values.”
Stuart Quinlan, Deputy CEO/COO at Conduit Re, said “From inception, Conduit has always aimed to make positive contributions to the community where we have established our business. The Conduit Foundation focuses its funding on a selection of charities local to Bermuda. Additionally, we have purposely built a culture where the giving of time and resource by staff is encouraged, to help further the progress and good work of local charities.”
