system in a socially conscious way
UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) today published its first
Sustainability Report, highlighting actions across the company to
build a health system that works better for everyone. The report
builds upon the company’s long-standing commitment to
sustainability, and includes updates on the organization’s
environmental, social and governance efforts.
“Our 325,000 team members across UnitedHealth Group are
committed to leading in the development of the next-generation
health system in a socially conscious way,” said David S. Wichmann,
chief executive officer of UnitedHealth Group. “Our sustainability
efforts are an extension of our culture, values and mission –
helping people live healthier lives and helping make the health
system work better for everyone. We are dedicated to earning the
opportunity to serve more people and deliver distinctive value to
our stakeholders.”
The Sustainability Report features efforts across UnitedHealth
Group, including its UnitedHealthcare and Optum businesses, in four
key areas:
- Leading in the Development of the Next-Generation Health
System in a socially conscious way – a system that increases
access to care, makes care more affordable, enhances the care
experience and improves health outcomes.
- Developing our People and Culture by creating an
inclusive environment where diverse people, experiences and
perspectives make us better.
- Maintaining Responsible Business Practices supported by
over 40 years of continued enhancements to corporate governance,
including a commitment to ethics and integrity, and an emphasis on
data privacy and security, and responsible supply chain
management.
- Improving Environmental Health by recognizing the
important role the environment plays in the health of every
community and our role in mitigating our impact on the
environment.
UnitedHealth Group’s first Sustainability Report also includes a
special feature on our response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I’m proud of our team’s commitment to our mission and the
achievements outlined in our first Sustainability Report. We are
guided in our work by responsible business practices that drive our
behaviors, our dedication to investing in and developing our
workforce and the broader health system workforce, and our
commitment to improving the health of the environment,” Wichmann
said. “We will continue to build on these efforts and openly and
transparently share information and updates on our long-standing
commitment to sustainability.”
