A strategic growth driver

At Hagerty, we elevated impact to be a strategic pillar because of its power to maximize our growth opportunities, minimize our risks, and drive exceptional value for all stakeholders.

We manage our impact strategy as we do every business driver: with diligence, passion, innovative thinking, a long-term view, and an honest assessment of how we can improve.
