Retired Zurich employees were given a tour of the company’s offices to find out about its sustainability and net-zero achievements.
It was organised by the Zurich Financial Services Pensioners Association (ZFSPA) and involved 23 former employees visiting Zurich House at Isle of Man Business Park.
Bruce Pearson, Chief Executive Officer, Zurich International Life Ltd, and Mark Cady, Chief Operating Officer, Zurich International Life, welcomed their former colleagues to the offices.
The tour was led by Facilities Manager, Jason Buckley, who showed the visitors the company’s multi award-winning solar array and the Garey ny Keylley (Forest Garden) in grounds near the office building.

The garden is designed to provide an ideal environment for wildflowers, insects and birds, while also being the perfect place for employees or visitors to relax in the open air.
Jason also explained the excellent progress the company is making towards local and global sustainability and net-zero targets.
At Zurich House, this has been achieved by simple changes such as harvesting rainwater and reducing everyday plastic and paper waste, through to investing in the solar array which provided around half of the company’s IOM electricity needs in its first year of operation.
