Insurance Diversity Surveys & Reports

The California Insurance Diversity Survey (CAIDS) is a biennial survey administered by the California Department of Insurance (CDI) pursuant to California Insurance Code section 927 et seq. CAIDS promotes transparency and accountability in California's insurance industry by collecting data from California-admitted insurance companies on governing board diversity, supplier diversity programs, and spending with businesses owned by women, LGBTQ+ individuals, persons with disabilities, veterans, disabled veterans, and historically underrepresented communities.

CAIDS data is analyzed to produce statewide insights through tools such as the California Insurance Diversity Index, Economic Impact Report, and Diversity Fact Sheets (below).

Since CAIDS began, insurer spending with diverse suppliers has increased more than $230%, reaching $3.1 billion in reported spend and generating an estimated $6.7 billion in total economic impact for California’s economy.
