The CII
The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII)
is the premier professional organisation for those working in the insurance and financial services industry.
It is dedicated to promoting higher standards of competence and integrity through the provision of relevant qualifications for employees at all levels and across all sectors.
In March 2007, it teamed up with Trees for Life for a promotion encouraging its members to
switch from receiving paper mailings to email updates about the Institute, pledging to donate
10p for every email received. So far the promotion has raised over £2,600 for Trees for Life.
"Given the increased focus on environmental issues and climate change, the
CII wanted to reduce the number of paper mailings sent to our members. The
CII chose to support Trees for Life's reforestation programme in the Scottish
Highlands because Trees for Life are a UK charity and provided bespoke
corporate support schemes which they were able to tailor to the CII. The
incentive of the CII providing 10p to Trees for Life for every member's email
address received proved extremely popular, with a total of 1960 providing
their email address so far. In addition to Trees for Life we also recycle
paper, cardboard, pc monitors, drives, printers, toners, fluorescent tubes
and mobiles, and in the first year this was the equivalent to 316 trees."
