| Summary: | This dissertation argued for the need for stronger corporate ethics policies and
enforcement, as well as tougher anti-retaliation protections. The problem investigated was
how corporate ethics policies can be improved in the property and casualty insurance
industry. This dissertation explored the importance of code of ethics policies and
programming, in addition to anti-retaliation policies managed by ethics and compliance
officers in the property and casualty insurance space. Additionally, the research aimed to
understand the role these officers play within an organization when they communicate,
implement, and enforce their organization's ethics policies, ensuring whistleblowers
feel protected when they report misconduct. This dissertation highlighted key commonalities
and themes in code of conduct policies at six leading property and casualty insurance
companies and featured interviews with compliance and ethics officers in the property and
casualty insurance space. These individuals stated how they believe corporate ethics
protections can be improved within their organization. --Author's abstract
