Our Purpose
We give people the confidence to achieve their ambitions
Everyone has ambitions and goals – both personal and professional. We give people the confidence to achieve them by helping them manage risks so they can focus on the outcome they desire, not the potential barriers holding them back.
Our Vision
To be the insurer that builds the strongest partnerships with customers

This means there are many different stakeholder groups we are committed to building the strongest partnerships with – they include our major trading partners, brokers, agents, insureds, policyholders, claimants as well as our most important asset, our own people.

Since our founding, QBE has been playing an active role in the communities in which it operates. In 2011, the QBE Insurance Group launched its major global corporate responsibility initiative: the QBE Foundation.
The Foundation’s philosophy is to support charities that help people overcome disadvantages, strengthen their abilities, and help them live more independently, successfully and productively.
Our objectives include making a difference in key areas that align with QBE’s vision and values. We also seek to drive employee engagement by developing networking and a strong team-based culture. We strive to maximise the return and impact for any collection, distribution and allocation of philanthropic resources.
Through the Foundation's initiatives, we aim to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged children, youth and elderly across the region.
