Unum works diligently to develop good business practices and build a culture where ethics are never compromised. We have a governance structure that promotes transparency and ensures that we meet the highest standards throughout our company.

• Our Code of Business Practices and Ethics outlines our company principles for employees and serves as a guide to the resources we have available to address ethical issues that arise. This includes online and toll-free telephone access to report ethical issues confidentially and a website that provides ethics education and training.
• We develop business practices across our operations that not only ensure we comply with regulations, but also encourage efficiency, good decision-making and employee accountability.
• Through our privacy and information security policies, we protect medical and other private customer information by keeping it secure, confidential and accessible only by individuals who use the data for lawful business purposes.
• Our procurement programs are designed to provide quality goods and services to our customers and ourselves, and promote fair business practices. A supplier diversity program helps the company identify and do business with minority-owned vendors that share Unum’s commitment to sound business practices.
