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
of 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 encourages
professional development, celebrates achievement, and serves
employees and their families through competitive benefits and
wellness programs.
