Intact's Trust Awards Highlight Brand Resilience Amidst Competitive Landscape
Event summary
- Intact Financial Corporation has been recognized as the 'Most Trusted Home Insurance Brand in Canada' and 'Most Trusted Auto Insurance Brand in Quebec' by BrandSpark International.

Maintaining this trust will be crucial as Intact expands its global footprint and navigates a complex regulatory environment.
