About us

Hill Stone Wood received an Environment Agency NEIRF Grant to develop our business model. Proof of concept agreed with EA in 2023.

We want to use company profits to fund environmental restoration and not make shareholders richer.

Insure4Nature is a trading brand for Hill Stone Wood Ltd – started by three people who want to make a difference and try to restore nature in the UK – and possibly elsewhere if we evolve internationally.


There are three elements to our business model:

01

Raise funds through the sale of insurance and other financial products. Our partner Home insurance broker is Source Insurance Ltd who offer a range of home insurance products from reputable and leading insurance companies including Allianz, Covea and other insurers for standard and non-standard offerings to meet your needs

02

Fund nature restoration projects with DEFRA backed catchment partnerships including River Trust, Wildlife Trust, water companies, councils and other environmental groups

03

Measurement and data collection. Project analysis and data collection to report back to customers, partners and insurance companies to prove the benefits of environmental restoration in terms of social and environmental benefits plus insurance risk modelling.

How much difference can we really make?

There are 27.8m homes in the UK

70% have some home insurance = 19.46m

How many are worried about the environment? YouGov suggests 81%, but let’s assume 75% = 14.6m

How many could be interested in getting a competitive home insurance quote from Insure4Nature? At least 10% = 1,460,000 households

Realistically how many will transfer their insurance to Insure4Nature if we are competitive? Industry standard suggests 25% may swap insurers = 365,000 customers.

Which would mean nearly £10,000,000 to spend on environmental projects every year!

It’s quick and simple.
