Proactive insurance for a reactive world

The Wooden Chair’s fresh approach to mining and carbon management delivers what has always seemed impossible – harmony between mining and carbon credit production.

You see, we’re not generic insurance brokers because our solutions are focused on what you do because they are designed by mining stakeholders and carbon experts.

Our approach is to look beyond the obvious. By taking this non-blinkered approach, we seek new ideas and solutions that others miss. Pushing ourselves beyond our knowledge comfort zone is how we deliver the maximum benefit to your business.

Mining supply chain risk mitigation

Exploration, developmental, operational, engineering, refining, logistics, and carbon capture – we’ve got you covered in whatever phase you’re working in.

We’re here to listen and understand what you’re up against. Then, using our first-hand experience in supporting the global mining supply chain, we’ll tailor a proposal to help take the strain.

We don’t know everything, so a partnership with you is essential that involves international underwriters, including Lloyd’s of London.

What is plant-based insurance?

Is carbon credit production the antithesis of mining? Yes, but weirdly, it’s also a mutually beneficial partnership.

With our plant-based insurance, we’re de-risking the voluntary carbon market (VCM) by providing financial compensation in the event of unforeseeable and unavoidable risks.

Trees can be planted on the re-mined land when a mine gets underway, mitigating its carbon footprint. We help you reduce your risk while making a positive difference to climate change.

As you’ve probably already guessed, The Wooden Chair isn’t a conventional insurance broker because we believe that insurance is an enabler; it’s a catalyst for expansion, diversification, and revenue growth.

Insurance should provide a competitive edge, empowering you to offer services others can’t. Our knowledge of your sector is critical, so we can help you grow your business using the insurance market and our resources.
