Serve

Responsibly

People count on our benefits as part of a critical financial safety net, and we strive to deliver on those commitments. This focus on doing the right thing guides our approach to sustainability and social responsibility issues.

Community

outreach

We have a long tradition of building stronger communities. Through financial gifts and employee volunteering, we partner with community organizations to improve education opportunities, promote health and wellness, and support the arts. In 2018, we contributed more than $13 million to charitable causes and provided thousands of hours of paid time off for volunteer activities.

Environmental

responsibility

We work to effectively manage our impact on the environment we all depend on to support quality of life for everyone. We strive to reduce our carbon footprint through programs focused on energy reduction, water usage and minimizing paper. Employee ‘green teams’ also promote environmentally smart ways of living and working.

Good

governance

The trust of our shareholders, customers and employees is earned by operating with an unwavering commitment to integrity and a laser focus on serving the long-term interests of our constituents. Good governance starts with our Board of Directors, an independent and diverse voice that provides expertise, perspectives and insight for critical decisions. Our Board and employees are guided by a Code of Conduct that outlines ethical, prudent and consistent business practices. We have a robust set of internal safeguards to protect the privacy and information security of customer data. And we have extensive internal controls in place to meet the regulatory requirements in the U.S., U.K. and Poland.
