As we begin recovering in the U.S. and U.K. from one of the deepest recessions in history, greater corporate transparency and a commitment to good governance are more important now than ever.

At Unum, we’ve never lost our focus on that. Through the work of several standing committees, our Board of Directors actively engages management on a host of governance issues, ranging from risk management and executive compensation to regulatory compliance and business practices. In addition, throughout the company we emphasize the importance of ethical conduct and making good business decisions.

As a result, all of our stakeholders can count on Unum to operate with sound business principles, consistent execution and a strong commitment to meeting the needs of employers and their workers.
