To commemorate this year’s International Women’s Day, insurance firm emPLE has offered free one-year coverage to female entrepreneurs.
This was revealed on its social media pages, where the company said the move is aimed at providing financial security for businesswomen who play a vital role in sustaining local markets.
The 2025 IWD is celebrated under the theme ‘Accelerate Action.’
EMPLE said, “Over the past month, we stepped into the heart of Lagos to connect with the women driving commerce forward. We listened to their stories, their challenges, and their aspirations, seeking ways to support and empower them.
“For International Women’s Day, we took action by empowering these women with our ShopProtect Insurance, ensuring their businesses stay protected. But more than that, we amplified their voices in a documentary that captures their resilience, struggles, and triumphs.”
The firm added, “We envisioned a world where every businesswoman has the support she deserves to thrive against all odds. But imagination alone is not enough, so we took action. This International Women’s Day, we are empowering businesswomen with free one-year #ShopProtect insurance, providing them with financial security and protection against life’s uncertainties. Beyond this, we stand with every woman striving, building, and breaking barriers.”
ShopProtect is a comprehensive plan that offers protection against a range of risks, including fire, break-ins, and accidents at work.
emPLE is a leading financial services company dedicated to providing insurance and investment solutions to retail and corporate clients across Africa.
