Investing in our people
Harnessing the collective strength and talent of Equitable’s more than 8,000 employees and financial professionals, we are committed to fostering an environment where everyone can contribute meaningfully and thrive personally and professionally. This includes providing our people with learning and development opportunities, as well as programs and benefits that help improve their overall well-being.
Caring for the environment
We are committed to being good environmental stewards of our business, creating programs and practices that can drive sustainable, positive change. This includes assessing the environmental impact of our operations and business practices and enhancing the quality of our investment portfolio by considering the impact of material ESG factors in our investment decision-making process.
Building stronger communities
We aspire to drive community vitality, foster equity and opportunity and advance economic mobility through our grantmaking, volunteerism and impact investing. Funded with our $106m endowment, Equitable Foundation has supported philanthropic causes since 1986, underscoring our long-term commitment to our communities. We also have an Impact Investing program, funded by our $99bn General Account, that seeks to produce a social or environmental impact, while generating a competitive financial return.
Upholding stakeholder trust
From our risk management philosophy and economic model that guides our business decisions to our governance model and code of conduct, we believe strong adherence to these principles helps us create long-term value for stakeholders and deliver on the promises we make.
At the very core of our mission to help individuals achieve financial well-being are the promises we make to our clients. The promise to deliver sound financial advice and trusted products to navigate life’s ups and downs. The promise to be there for our clients from day one, regardless of where they may be on their financial journeys. And the promise to get to know our clients as whole people, understanding every financial decision is a life-impacting one.
