NORTHBROOK, Ill., Aug. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Allstate Insurance
Company today released its annual Social Responsibility Report,
entitled "When Good Hands People Give Back". The report reviews
Allstate's community involvement and sustainability strategy, as
well as goals for four major focus areas of the company during the
2010 fiscal year: the environment, stakeholders, business practices
and social impact.
Allstate approaches its commitment to communities and
sustainability in these four areas with significant support from
its agency owners and employees, and through a number of smart
investments. Highlights in this year's report include:
- Leadership on Teen Driving Safety – Although motor
vehicle crashes are still the leading cause of death among American
teens, Allstate and The Allstate Foundation have helped contribute
to the reduction of teen driving deaths in America by nearly 40
percent over the past five years.
- Financial Education and Services for Domestic Violence
Survivors – As a leader in financial services, Allstate advises
people everyday on their finances, and has helped more than 30,000
domestic violence survivors break the cycle of violence through
financial education, matched savings and job readiness
training.
- Minimizing Impact on the Environment - Allstate is
currently on target to meet aggressive goals in this area. Last
year alone, the company reduced paper use in its home office by 41
percent and in its field offices by more than 50 percent compared
with its 2008 baseline.
- Local Involvement and Investment – The Allstate
Foundation, Allstate, its employees and agency owners contributed
more than $30 million to community
projects in 2010. More than one third of The Allstate Foundation
grants and corporate contributions support programs for
multicultural communities. In addition, thousands of employees and
agency owners serve as enthusiastic volunteers in hometowns across
the country.
