External engagement
Just as a broker serves as a bridge between risk and solution, Becobra acts as a bridge between the sector and policymakers. We represent our members in dialogue with regulators, policymakers, and sector organisations. This open exchange enables us to translate our members’ practical experiences into meaningful policy and regulatory input.
Our representation takes concrete form through participation in various formal consultation platforms. Below is an overview of the key consultation structures in which Becobra is involved, along with the representatives who serve on these platforms on behalf of our association. This overview is not exhaustive: in addition to these established platforms, Becobra also represents the sector in a range of ad hoc initiatives and consultations with external stakeholders.
