Sustaining Our Communities

We believe in being a good corporate citizen and actively contributing to the vitality and resilience of the communities we serve. From our wide-ranging civic and charitable endeavors to our commitment to the environment and sustainable practices, we are dedicated to fostering strong, thriving communities.

Education

Travelers EDGE (Empowering Dreams for Graduation and Employment), our signature education initiative, aims to increase access to education for underrepresented students and prepare them for careers in the financial services industry.
Since its inception in 2007, 73% of participants have obtained or are pursuing bachelor’s degrees.

Environment and Sustainability

All Travelers-owned campuses are ENERGY STAR® certified.
We partner with Habitat for Humanity® and the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety to construct affordable, fortiﬁed homes in coastal areas.
Travelers has sponsored a comprehensive Coastal Wind Zone Plan to address the sustainability of coastal insurance since 2009.

Travelers Institute®

We strengthen our communities by participating in the public policy dialogue through the Travelers Institute.
For example, “Every Second Matters” — our nationwide distracted driving awareness initiative launched in 2017 — addresses the growing threat to life, safety and property.

Social Responsibility

In partnership with KaBOOM!, hundreds of Travelers employees and independent agents helped build six playgrounds across the United States throughout the year.

From charitable giving and employee volunteer activities to signature philanthropic programs like the Travelers Championship, we are dedicated to supporting the communities in which we live and work.
The 2017 Travelers Championship generated $1.7 million for more than 165 charities. Since Travelers became the title sponsor in 2007, the Travelers Championship has distributed more than $14.7 million to more than 750 charities.
Our employees also volunteered in their communities — logging more than 143,000 hours in 2017.
