Unum releases 2012 Corporate Citizenship Report

Every day Unum employees make a difference through their efforts to meet customer needs, create a strong corporate culture and support their communities. In this year’s Corporate Citizenship Report you will find stories that show how our company and employees live these commitments.

“We are very fortunate as a company to be in a strong financial position, and our good fortune helps propel our efforts as a good corporate citizen and neighbor,” writes CEO Tom Watjen in the report’s opening letter.

Below are three “difference makers” at Unum featured in the report:

• Krista Workman, a disability benefits specialist in Columbia, is committed to help her customers through difficult times. “Each day I strive to find ways to better provide protection to our customers in times of need,” she said.
• Senior Account Manager Nicola Sisk in Chattanooga understands firsthand how Unum’s caring culture supports both its customers and employees. “It wasn’t until my husband was faced with a potentially fatal bone marrow disease that I truly understood that Unum was such a special place,” she said.
• And Corporate Volunteer of the Year Eamonn Lawler, a programmer analyst in Carlow, Ireland, lives his commitment to serve others by giving back. “Working here, if you need a hand, there is always someone willing to help out, to give their time or donate supplies or money,” he said.

The report also covers Unum’s community giving. In 2011, Unum contributed more than $12 million to charitable organizations in the U.S. and U.K.
