Assurant is a purpose-driven company that remains committed to integrating our sustainability efforts into our long-term strategy. We believe this approach supports our business outcomes, our global business operations, and our product and service offerings. We maintain a rigorous process to ensure that strong oversight and governance guide the development and execution of our sustainability strategy in alignment with our long-term business strategy.
During our most recent enterprise sustainability prioritization assessment in 2023, we gathered extensive feedback from a broad range of stakeholders across our value chain. This assessment was conducted in accordance with double materiality best practices that consider financially-material topics that influence enterprise value as well as topics that reflect our company’s most material impacts on the economy, environment, and people. The purpose of the assessment was to align with leading reporting standards and frameworks; to identify and assess the impacts, risks, and opportunities throughout our value chain; and to determine where we can drive the greatest impact for our business, our employees, our clients, and our other stakeholders. The assessment results, which were approved by senior management, also laid the foundation for our Sustainability Vision that provides a framework for advancing our sustainability strategy over time in support of Assurant’s broader growth strategy.
Assurant reviews the results of our enterprise sustainability prioritization assessment annually and aims to refresh this process every 2 – 3 years to ensure this assessment remains relevant to our global operations.
The sustainability topics in the table below are the priority topics identified from our 2023 sustainability prioritization assessment.
