Guided by Values, Pursuing a Vision
UNUM's Vision is world leadership in disability and special risk insurance. Leadership does not necessarily mean a dominant market share. Rather, we will achieve leadership in areas that are meaningful and important to our customers and a marketplace that values profitability, quality and reputation.

UNUM is a socially responsible corporation that invests in the well-being of our communities, the health of our society and secondary-school public education reform to ensure a competitive work force for the future. For example:

  • UNUM America's social investing program puts the company's assets to work in Portland, Maine, where it is headquartered. Our lending to social service agencies, such as Shalom House and Tri-County Mental Health Services, helps finance community housing for the mentally ill in Southern Maine. UNUM America also invests in small businesses through a lending program operated in partnership with the city of Portland's Economic Development Department.
  • UNUM America regularly has been included in Working Mother magazine's "100 Best Companies for Working Mothers," recognizing the company's family-friendly on-site child care facilities, flextime and telecommunications programs, and the percentage of women in management.
  • UNUM Limited received the national "Investor in People" award from the United Kingdom's Department of Employment and the "Positive about Disabled People" award from the U.K. Employment Service for combating discrimination among employers.
  • The UNUM Foundation actively supports the Maine community where we are headquartered with dozens of grants to non-profit social efforts that totaled almost $2 million in 1995. Among the organizations we supported were the AIDS Consultation Service at Maine Medical Center, the University of Southern Maine's efforts in public school reform, and a Long Term Care Study to help better understand the needs of Maine's elderly and disabled residents.
  • In recognition of outstanding health promotion and disease prevention, UNUM America's Wellpower program won the 1995 C. Everett Koop National Health Award. For efforts to create equal access to opportunities for people with disabilities, the company also received the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's first "Employer of the Year" award.
