Corporate Social Responsibility
Our work at Marsh & McLennan Companies touches business, industry, society and people worldwide. As such, we are committed to doing business in a responsible way. A key part of our commitment is the pledge to care for the development of our own colleagues as well as the communities in which we operate. This is core to our corporate social responsibility (CSR) philosophy. A strategic, coherent CSR program helps to differentiate us from competitors, attract top talent, retain active and engaged employees, build our brand, and, most importantly, utilize our knowledge and enthusiasm for the greater good of society. It is for these reasons that CSR has recently become a formalized function at Marsh & McLennan Companies and our Operating Companies. While Marsh & McLennan Companies has for many years supported a wide range of socially responsible causes, our new CSR model includes the more focused involvement of our Operating Companies in pursuing our vision. We believe this will help us to create innovative and collaborative initiatives that help communities and people at risk - both today and for generations to come. Our renewed commitment to CSR also supports two of our key strategic goals for Marsh & McLennan Companies: weaving the company together - working more strategically and with greater alignment across our Operating Companies - and enhancing levels of colleague engagement. We have appointed two Executive Sponsors for CSR at the Marsh & McLennan Companies leadership level to help advance these goals. Orlando Ashford, in his role as Marsh & McLennan Companies Chief HR & Communications Officer, including functional responsibility for CSR, will serve as an Executive Sponsor and provide his guidance as strategies are developed to engage employees in social issues. John Drzik , President and CEO of Oliver Wyman Group and also an Executive Sponsor of CSR, has been asked to support the development of CSR across our Operating Companies for the greater good of Marsh & McLennan Companies as a whole. Both are working alongside the Head of CSR at Marsh & McLennan Companies. By developing and deepening relationships across the firm, our CSR platform and Marsh & McLennan Companies as a whole will flourish and grow. Brian Duperreault |
