The U.S. Insurance industry is a big industry, representing over $1 trillion in premiums and employing over 2.5 million people. Opportunities for increased supplier diversity in this segment of the economy is growing.

Regulatory changes launched by the state of California have served to place a spotlight on this opportunity. In 2012, the State of California launched its first Insurance Diversity Survey. The survey measures Supplier Diversity and Board Diversity in the insurance industry. Since the launch of this survey, the California insurance industry has reported an increase of over $586 million in spend with diverse suppliers, a 63% increase in just 3 years.

There is a wave of change underway in the industry; Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Washington and Washington DC have now joined California in this landmark supplier diversity initiative.
