Horace Mann Releases Its 2017 Corporate Social Responsibility Report
Horace Mann (NYSE:HMN), guided by its high standards and mission to
serve educators across the country, announced the release of its 2017
Corporate Social Responsibility report. The report details Horace
Mann's impact on the people and the community it serves.
"Our mission to serve educators is both a legacy and a responsibility.
The commitment and dedication of educators who serve their students and
our communities motivates us to think, and act, beyond the day-to-day
requirements of running a corporation," said Marita Zuraitis, President
and Chief Executive Officer. "Our 2017 Corporate Social Responsibility
Report discusses how we give back to communities, live up to our high
ethical standards, share our knowledge and respect the environment."
-
Enhancing environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices.
The
company's Enterprise Risk Management Committee formally oversees the
ESG program, consistent with today's best practices to combine
corporate risk and compliance management with supervision of
environmental, social and governance programs. The company continues
to enhance its ESG practices and expanded its 2017 ESG discussion
based on feedback from stakeholders, including a more in-depth view of
information protection and policy.
-
Respecting the environment.
Horace Mann works to reduce
its environmental footprint, including reducing waste, energy and
paper usage and greenhouse gas emissions. It also continually works to
better understand the climate risks directly affecting its insurance
products, portfolio f investments and catastrophe reinsurance
coverage. Climate change, to the extent it produces rising
temperatures and changing weather patterns, could increase
property-related risks by causing weather events and wildfires to
become more frequent and severe.
-
Taking care of customers.
In 2017, Horace Mann enhanced
customer service by integrating multiple legacy administrative systems
into a single, modernized platform to improve the customer experience
and lower operating costs. The company also enhanced agent tools and
training and added a proprietary education tool to facilitate
conversations about wealth and risk management.
-
Offering educator solutions.
The Horace Mann business
model integrates tools, programs and resources to help educators
achieve financial success. Its flagship financial wellness programs
include Student
Loan Solutions, retirement
planning and financial
success workshops. And through its partnership with DonorsChoose.org,
Horace Mann helps ensure teachers get the resources they need to be
successful in the classroom.
-
Building stronger communities.
Horace Mann focuses its
community volunteerism and donations on the educational community.
Employees and agents devote countless hours to public service. The
company recognizes educational excellence by sponsoring local and
national awards.
-
Celebrating workforce diversity, inclusion and achievement.
Horace
Mann values workforce diversity and is particularly proud of its
strong representation of women at all levels. In addition, Horace Mann
