A new homegrown consultancy is aiming to help Bermuda's financial services sector turn environmental goals into everyday business practice. Sustenance, founded by sustainability professional Venetia Furbert, has officially launched with a focus on serving re/insurers and other financial institutions based on the island.

The firm brings together sustainability management and innovation, positioning itself to assist organisations in converting high-level ambition into practical, measurable action. According to the company, the consultancy has been built around two complementary pillars designed to bridge the gap between strategy and implementation for clients navigating an increasingly complex regulatory and environmental landscape.

The launch comes at a time when Bermuda's re/insurance industry faces growing pressure from regulators, investors and policyholders to demonstrate credible progress on climate risk and sustainability reporting. Industry observers note that demand for specialist advisory services in this space has expanded rapidly, creating opportunities for locally based expertise.

Ms Furbert's venture adds to a small but growing cluster of sustainability-focused businesses operating out of Bermuda, reinforcing the island's reputation as a centre for risk and insurance innovation. Sustenance is expected to work with clients both locally and across international markets connected to Bermuda's financial services community.
