The guidelines for good insurance practice and general principles of insurance business have been updated and published in a more concise format. The new publication combines three guidelines that were published separately before. The contents of the guidelines have also been updated.
“Some parts of the guidelines had not aged all that gracefully. For example, one subsection outlined that the insurance policies for men and women could be priced differently”, says Amanda Aalto, legal adviser at FFI.

They also seek to promote the use of mutually agreed and ethically sustainable principles and practices in insurance investigation. The guidelines serve as recommended practices.
