NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) have recognized The
Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV)
as one of only three property casualty insurance companies on the
146-company North America Index. This is the 10th consecutive year that
Travelers has been included in the DJSI.
Launched in 1999, the DJSI were the first global indices to track the
financial performance of the leading sustainability-driven companies
worldwide. The DJSI are maintained collaboratively by the S&P Dow Jones
Indices and RobecoSAM. Companies are selected for the indices based on
an assessment of their long-term economic, environmental and social
practices. Only companies that lead their industries based on this
assessment are included in the indices.
“We have a deep commitment to providing opportunities and creating
meaningful differences in the communities in which we live and work,”
said Brian MacLean, President and Chief Operating Officer of Travelers.
“Being included in the DJSI for a 10th consecutive year is an important
distinction for Travelers and a testament to the company’s culture and
character.”
Through corporate funding and the Travelers Foundation, the company focuses
on supporting academic and career success, developing thriving
neighborhoods and enhancing lives through arts and culture. Travelers
contributed nearly $23 million to important causes in 2015, and more
than $100 million over the last five years. Through the Travelers
Institute, the company’s public policy division, Travelers engages
in public policy dialogue on matters of interest to the property
casualty insurance sector as well as to the broader financial services
industry.
In addition, Travelers supports initiatives and actions that uphold
environmentally responsible practices and conserve natural
resources. All Travelers-owned campuses are ENERGY STAR® certified and
undergo an annual recertification process.
The company also emphasizes employee development, a factor in the DJSI
assessment, through its classroom programs and workshops, as well as its
Diversity Networks, a set of voluntary groups dedicated to fostering a
diverse and inclusive work environment for all employees.
