Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), one of the nation’s leading health and
well-being companies, today released its 2020 Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) report. As outlined in the report, Humana
details its continued commitment to advancing health equity and
addressing the needs of the community to drive sustainable change
and create shared value for all Humana stakeholders.
“At Humana, we believe everyone should have access to the tools
and support needed to achieve their best health,” said Bruce D.
Broussard, Humana’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “This
was increasingly clear in 2020 with the challenges of a global
pandemic and the impact to our employees, partners and customers.
It sharpened our commitment to human care and to efforts that
advance health equity, simplify health care, and enable integrated
experiences for our customers.”
Humana’s 2020 CSR Report highlights the company’s commitment to
making it easier for people to achieve their best health, working
to advance population health in each community, building more
equitable and sustainable practices for the business and the
collective healthcare system as well as investing in the health and
sustainability of the environments around each person. In 2020,
highlights across these areas included:
- Protecting the health and safety of its employees:
Humana rolled out new benefits like special PTO, a COVID-19 paid
leave program, expanded coverage of COVID-related health needs,
caregiving support membership with Care.com, and $13.1 million in
funding for caregiver emergency relief such as back-up childcare
and eldercare.
- Conducting nearly 6.2 million screenings for health-related
social needs in 2020: Humana set an enterprise-wide goal to
conduct 3 million screenings. In the end, the company more than
doubled that goal. These screenings resulted in the connection of
members to resources and support that directly and measurably
addressed their needs.
- Contributing support to the communities Humana serves:
The Humana Foundation provided $50 million to aid in COVID-19
relief for underserved communities, to help them navigate COVID-19
through short and long-term programs and partnerships with local
and national agencies.
- Putting energy into reducing energy: In 2020, 22 Humana
sites were Energy Star certified and 15 of those sites were part of
the new tenant spaces category - which Energy Star reported was the
highest number of certified tenant spaces by a single company.
- Expanding its commitment to advancing health equity:
Humana recently named a new Chief Health Equity Officer, Dr. Nwando
Olayiwola, and a new Chief Inclusion & Diversity Officer,
Carolyn Tandy.
Humana will continue to provide transparency in all future
reporting around continued environmental, social, and governance
(ESG) practices, processes, and metrics that connect to the
business strategy. These will be shared in future annual integrated
reports, on the Humana website and through frequent news stories
throughout the year.
