Willis Group Holdings announced the launch of Evergreen, an innovative, new insurance approach that removes the need for annual policy renewal. The Evergreen contract was developed by Willis in conjunction with AIG, the underwriters. The contract continues indefinitely, reducing frictional costs and eliminating time consuming administration at renewal. Complemented by risk management support, regular reviews ensure the correct level of protection is maintained at all times. The Evergreen policy also provides a six-month cancellation clause, which gives clients greater flexibility and freedom, unlike a traditional annual insurance policy that cannot be cancelled after inception.
