Submitted by Humana Inc.
Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), one of the nation’s leading health care companies, today released its 2010-2011 corporate social responsibility (CSR) report. It is the first such publication among major U.S. health insurers to use Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines, the world’s most recognized standards for environmental, social and governance reporting.
The report focuses on Humana’s CSR platform – Healthy People, Healthy Planet, Healthy Performance – and introduces the company’s energy-saving targets for 2012. The report also illuminates a range of specific ways Humana is helping people achieve lifelong well-being, such as an innovative well-being pilot program in Kentucky and Humana’s partnership with Walmart to make prescription drugs more affordable for Medicare beneficiaries.
“This report marks an important milestone in our CSR journey,” said Humana Chairman and CEO Mike McCallister. “Through this report, we share our efforts and aspirations to further integrate CSR into our business strategy and operations across the U.S.”
The “Well-Being Starts with Us: 2010 & 2011 CSR Report” highlights that Humana:
The GRI is a network-based organization that pioneered the world’s most widely used sustainability reporting framework. Humana self-declared its report to comply with GRI’s Level C criteria, in which it reports on all profile disclosures and 10 performance indicators.
