Our governance
The BSA’s Board of Directors is made up of experts representing the various organisations and trade associations that have an interest in fire sprinklers and fire protection. The work of the BSA is funded by FM Global, a global business property insurer. FM Global is a mutual insurance company and is committed to creating a greater understanding of physical resilience in business.
The Board of Directors has a clear majority of members who are not from the insurance industry (known as ‘lay members’). This means that the BSA will always remain focused on the protecting the business community from the devastating impacts of fire.
