Key Statements

"Stewarding this vision for the future is something we've always done, and it requires planning, investment, and commitment around our environmental, social, and governance or ESG responsibilities. You see, our mission is about relieving Americans from financial anxiety, and our commitment to ESG influences the ways in which we do that."

"Plus, we know that success is only fully realized when our commitment to D&I is woven through everything we do our business strategies, the way our teams operate, even the ways we work with external partners and build stronger communities. It's also important to note that our commitment isn't new. Years ago, we established a 15 year roadmap for D&I at Northwestern Mutual, and we have remained focused on driving long term, meaningful and sustainable change year after year after year, and we've seen our impact continue to increase."
