At the heart of Cigna Connects are our people who give generously of their time
and talent and demonstrate they have more than a job; they have a career in
helping others. This work includes community involvement, diversity and
inclusion, environmental sustainability and ethics and governance. This year,
Cigna will communicate our unique set of initiatives in a formal corporate
responsibility report highlighting our eorts as we work to create positive
impact on the health of people, communities and the environment.
Employees giving back
Cigna’s people give generously of their time and talent, whether turning
out in force or quietly volunteering one by one. Two thousand employees
organized Cigna Day 2013, raising nearly $100,000 for community service
programs worldwide.
In China, our volunteers visited children at the Shanghai Bo’ai Children’s
Rehabilitation Center. In Connecticut, Cigna employees worked alongside
Blessings in a Backpack, to send children home from school with healthy
food for the weekend. And in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we were proud to
honor our Cigna 2013 Volunteer of the Year, Brian Urban. A health educator
from Baldwin, Pennsylvania, Brian’s leadership helped people get cancer
screenings through the Obediah Cole Prostate Cancer Foundation in Pittsburgh.
Guiding the way
Within Cigna’s disability business, we work with Achilles International.
Together with this nonprofit organization, we help our customers with long-
term disabilities return to productivity and regain a sense of achievement
through training for, and completing, a race – representing independence
and an important milestone on their road to recovery.
Cigna and our employee volunteers have teamed up with Achilles International
since 2008, helping adults and children with disabilities participate in the Walt
Disney World® Marathon Weekend, and many other events.
Supporting customers and communities is an important part of who
and where we are.
