Lincoln’s Efforts Make a Positive and
Meaningful Impact on Lives, Communities and the Environment
Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE:LNC) today released its 2020
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report, A World of Difference: Making Positive Impact in a Year
Like No Other, highlighting the company’s significant and
ongoing contributions to improving the well-being of its employees,
customers and communities.
The firm’s annual CSR Report, which covers activities from Jan.
1 through Dec. 31, 2020, describes Lincoln’s strategy, actions and
achievements in the areas of corporate philanthropy, environmental
sustainability and responsible business practices, and features
many of the company’s employees and their personal stories. The
report showcases how in 2020, a year like no other, Lincoln took
action to meet the evolving needs of customers, support its
employees and communities, and expanded its focus on racial justice
and equity.
“When our world changed in 2020, we did not sit back and wait
for yesterday to return. As we faced new challenges due to the
impact of COVID-19 and racial injustices in our country, our people
took action with courage, integrity and optimism, both within and
outside of our organization,” said Dennis R. Glass, president and
CEO, Lincoln Financial Group. “I am so proud of our incredible
employees for their unwavering commitment to making a positive
impact in the lives of others – for today and for the future.”
Highlights of Lincoln Financial’s 2020 CSR report include:
- The Lincoln Financial Foundation donated more than $10 million
to local nonprofits in its communities, including $2 million in
contributions to COVID-19 relief efforts that addressed food,
shelter and eviction service needs.
- Helped more than 1.5 million people fight food insecurity and
take more control over their circumstances through contributions to
the Lincoln Financial Foundation’s food bank grantee partners.
- Launched Community Connections, a free online resource for
critical information and links to organizations that provide needed
assistance to those facing unemployment, eviction or
foreclosure.
- Donated more than $765,000 to United Way through employee
contributions, for the eighth consecutive year as employees found
creative ways to help their communities through virtual
events.
- Developed an eight-part action plan to amplify support of
racial justice and equity inside and outside of our workplaces and
drive meaningful, measurable change in our country. This includes
adding a diversity and inclusion goal as a new performance measure
for the company’s long-term incentive compensation plan, which
applies to Lincoln’s most senior leaders. Augmenting focus on
diverse leadership is critical at all levels of the organization,
up through the Board of Directors – as we believe diverse
perspectives are paramount to success.
- Received a 100% rating on the Corporate Equality Index and
Disability Equality Index and was named among Forbes' Best
Employers for Women and Newsweek's America’s Most Responsible
Companies.
“As we navigated the pandemic, Lincoln focused corporate
responsibility efforts on helping our people, our customers and our
communities get through this crisis and turning everyday activities
into opportunities to care for people and the environment,” said
Nancy Rogers, president of the Lincoln Financial Foundation and
chief sustainability officer. “Lincoln employees are committed to
service and responsibility – even in a virtual environment,
employees remained steadfast in their focus on supporting one
another and our communities. They are an inspiration to me
daily.”
