The 2021 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report was released today by American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG).
The 2021 ESG Report builds on AIG's first ESG Report, which was released last year and provided the company's first comprehensive view of its efforts to support a more sustainable, equitable, and prosperous future. The Report's theme is Reimagining What AIG Can Do, and it explores the positive outcomes AIG can deliver to colleagues, clients, distribution partners, shareholders, communities, and many other stakeholders. It is guided by AIG's new Purpose and Values Statement.
"We are reimagining how to leverage AIG's expertise and differentiators in ways that improve and sustain communities for generations to come,"
said AIG Chairman and CEO Peter Zaffino.
"Our high level of transparency reinforces our commitment to taking ownership of AIG's ESG journey."
Constance Hunter, AIG Executive Vice President, Global Head of Strategy & ESG, stated,
"Each component of ESG is intrinsic to AIG's business strategy and long-term growth. Whether it is the magnitude and uncertainty surrounding the transition to a net zero carbon future, the measurable economic benefits of greater social inclusion in company results, or the stronger reputations of companies with exceptional governance, ESG factors are critical to the financial outcomes of businesses as well as the socioeconomic outcomes of the societies in which they operate."
