Humana Recognized As Leader In Climate Change Accountability

Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) has been identified as a U.S. leader for the quality of climate change-related information that it has disclosed to investors and the global marketplace through CDP, the international not-for-profit that drives sustainable economies. This distinction awards Humana a position on the S&P Climate Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI), released today in the S&P edition of CDP’s annual global climate change report.

Humana earned its position on the index by disclosing high-quality carbon emissions, energy data and a strategy to address climate change-related risks through CDP’s climate change program. The reported data has been independently assessed against CDP’s scoring methodology and marked out of 100. Those organizations graded within the top 10 percent constitute the CDLI. Humana scored 100 on the disclosure index placing it at the top in the healthcare sector.

“Environmental sustainability is a part of the culture at Humana, and we’re honored to be recognized for our energy efficiencies and disclosure efforts,” said Tim Huval, Senior Vice President & Chief Human Resources Officer at Humana. “We’re intentional about reducing our carbon footprint and sharing the impactful results with the business community and more importantly, the communities we serve.”
