Jackson Financial Inc.1 (NYSE: JXN) (Jackson®) today announced the release of its inaugural Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report since becoming an independent, public company in September 2021. The report highlights Jackson’s ongoing ESG efforts and priorities for the future.

“Jackson’s historical focus and efforts to positively impact our environment, communities and stakeholders have always been important to our business, and we are proud to release our first ESG report as a public company to highlight our critical work in these areas,” said Laura Prieskorn, President and Chief Executive Officer, Jackson. “I am grateful to all Jackson associates, whose commitment to our values has powered our ESG efforts. We look forward to building on these efforts in the years to come as we continue to help more Americans achieve financial freedom for life.”

Highlights from the ESG report include:

  • Jackson’s ESG priorities:
    • Protecting our environment: climate change; waste diversion and ecology.
    • Valuing our people and communities: diversity and inclusion; associate well-being and development; philanthropy and volunteerism.
    • Safeguarding your trust in us: strong governance and business practices; customer-focused products, service and advocacy; information security and privacy and investing responsibly.
  • The solar farm installed at the Lansing, Michigan headquarters is estimated to power more than 20% of its campus building. Jackson also actively seeks to reduce its environmental impact and protect the habitats where it operates through various programs, including a recycling and composting initiative that annually diverts approximately 60% of the company’s waste from landfills.
  • Jackson recognizes the importance of having an inclusive culture and offers participation in nine Business Resource Associate Groups (BRAGs) to allow associates to share their unique and diverse experiences. The company also provides associates with resources to grow as professionals through a variety of programs including mentoring, training, professional development and leadership courses.
