Addresses updated stakeholder priorities,
progress toward net-zero carbon emissions goals
Horace Mann Educators Corporation (NYSE:HMN) today announced its
2021 Corporate Social Responsibility reporting is available at
csr.horacemann.com.
The reporting includes an updated materiality assessment, which
details the environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics of
most importance to investors, educators, employees, community
partners and other corporate stakeholders. Overall, these
priorities include: business ethics; data security and privacy;
employee training, development and retention; and diversity, equity
and inclusion.
“A natural extension of our commitment to our educator customers
is a desire to have a positive impact on all our stakeholder
groups, through integration of ESG factors into both our day-to-day
operations as well as long-term planning,” said Horace Mann
President and CEO Marita Zuraitis. “The priorities identified in
this assessment and other stakeholder input will help shape our
long-term ESG planning.”
Horace Mann also details its commitment to cutting its absolute
Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions — as defined by the Greenhouse
Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard — in half
by 2030 and achieve net-zero carbon emissions on this basis by
2050. The company began a major carbon-reduction initiative in 2019
at its headquarters facility, which included installing a new, more
efficient HVAC system; installation of more than 500 solar panels;
adding LED lighting and lighting motion sensors; and replacing
single-pane windows at its 230,000-foot facility with double-pane
insulated glass.
“At Horace Mann, we feel it is important to do our part to
protect the environment,” Zuraitis said. “With the carbon reduction
initiatives we’ve implemented over the past two years, we are on
track to reach our ‘halfway point’ ahead of our 2030 goal.”
The reporting also includes information on the Horace Mann
Educators Foundation’s 2021 giving, which includes educator-focused
grants, funds to match Horace Mann Educators Corporation employees’
donations, and grants to support strong communities where employees
live and work. The Foundation supported projects and initiatives in
each community Horace Mann has a significant office presence:
Dallas; Raleigh, N.C.; Cherry Hill, N.J.; and its headquarters
location of Springfield, Ill.
