Private Ownership of
our Businesses
Our focus is
long term. We strive to establish and develop sound relationships
between our customers and insurance markets so that all parties in the
relationship benefit substantially in the long run. The very structure
of our corporation and businesses must reflect the fact that this goal
can be achieved effectively only if we are able to focus primarily on
the long term. Our ability to concentrate on the customer-market
relationship to the extent that we are committed would be hampered by
serving shareholders in addition to our clients and our employees.
Private ownership permits us to experiment, take risk and to be
creative. We are committed to the private ownership of our businesses.

World

responsibly as a corporate citizen. We think beyond our business to
our communities. We cultivate hope for our future by investing in
people, education, good works and charities. We will demonstrate good
corporate citizenship through the ethical conduct of our
business.
