Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) has been named the Health Care Providers & Services Industry Leader and received “Gold Class distinction” from RobecoSAM in its 2016 Sustainability Yearbook – making this the third consecutive year Humana has achieved this status. RobecoSAM, an investment specialist focused exclusively on sustainability investing and the organization that evaluates companies for the highly respected Dow Jones Sustainability Indices, recognized Humana for its commitment to outstanding sustainability performance.

RobecoSAM defines sustainability as a company's capacity to prosper in a hyper-competitive and changing global business environment.

“Our commitment to sustainable business practices is key to helping people improve their health, and we are honored to have been recognized by RobecoSAM once again in 2016,” said Heidi Margulis, Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs and leader of corporate responsibility efforts at Humana. 

Humana is one of only 10 U.S. companies – and the only U.S. health insurer – to receive the Gold Class distinction for its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) endeavors. From Humana’s dedication to its bold goal of improving the health of the communities it serves 20 percent by 2020 to its commitment to an agile workforce and employees’ health and well-being, Humana brings its CSR strategy to life every day.

Each year, more than 3,000 of the world’s largest companies are invited to participate in the RobecoSAM Corporate Sustainability Assessment. For each industry, the company with the highest score is named the RobecoSAM Industry Leader, and is considered to be the company within its industry “that is best prepared to seize the opportunities and manage the risks deriving from economic, environmental and social developments.” According to RobecoSAM, companies that anticipate and manage current and future economic, environmental and social opportunities and risks by focusing on quality, innovation and productivity will emerge as leaders that are more likely to create a competitive advantage and long-term stakeholder value.

• “Best Place to Work” by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and scoring a perfect 100 on HRC’s Corporate Equality Index
