Our Corporate Responsibility Priorities

t
Our Corporate Responsibility (CR) strategy and priorities align with and reflect our stakeholders— our policy owners and clients, employees and agents, and our communities and service providers. In developing this report, we partnered with an external organization to conduct a materiality assessment to identify and evaluate potential environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues that affect our stakeholders. That assessment has identified four priority areas:
OUR PEOPLE
OUR COMMUNITIES
OUR ENVIRONMENT
OUR GOVERNANCE
Talent Attraction, Retention, and Development: Developing and supporting our employees and agents through training and benefits.
Community Engagement: Empowering our communities and giving back through our time, talent, and resources.
Emissions Reductions: Taking responsibility for minimizing our carbon footprint and reducing emissions where possible.
Ethics: Upholding the highest standards of ethical behavior and best practices in our operations and governance.
Financial Security and Inclusion: Ensuring financial stability is accessible and sustainable, and offering responsible products and investments.
Energy Reductions: Committing to protecting the environment and reducing consumption.
Public Policy Practices: Responsibly and transparently engaging with the government to promote informed public policy.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Cultivating and supporting a workforce that is diverse in background and thought.
Data Privacy and Cybersecurity: Protecting private information and personal data against all attacks.
