Assurant Publishes New Social Responsibility Report Highlighting Strategic Framework and Guiding Principles


Assurant, Inc. (NYSE:AIZ), a global provider of lifestyle and housing solutions that support, protect and connect major consumer purchases, today published its new Social Responsibility Report.

"As a purpose-driven company with a strong social responsibility commitment, we have long considered the needs of multiple stakeholders as we serve our customers, innovate and take the important actions to drive the long-term growth of our business," said Alan Colberg, president and CEO, Assurant. "We are making significant progress towards more fully integrating our social responsibility efforts with our long-term business strategy and day-to-day operations. We have intensified our focus on critical areas such as diversity and inclusion, data security and privacy programs, integrity and ethics standards, and our customer experience commitment."

"Since publishing our initial social responsibility report in the fall of 2018, Assurant established a Governing Oversight Board to help identify priority initiatives and investments to advance key ESG matters. Guiding Principles were developed to inform the company's actions and progress against the most important ESG priorities for the company. The goal of our new social responsibility report is to provide stakeholders with a more complete picture of our efforts to deliver greater value as we operate our business and execute our long-term strategy," said Colberg.
