Company Receives Two Communitas Awards for
Excellence in Community Service
Assurant, Inc., a provider of specialty protection products and
services, recently was honored with two Communitas Awards in
recognition of the Company’s community service and social
responsibility commitment.
The Communitas Awards recognize businesses, organizations and
individuals that give back and are changing the way they do
business to benefit their communities. Nominees are evaluated on
the extent and effectiveness of their programs. Assurant won in the
categories of Leadership in Community Service and Corporate Social
Responsibility for its focused giving approach and Specific
Volunteer Project for its work with Habitat for Humanity of
Northwest Metro Atlanta.
“These awards reflect our employees’ unwavering commitment to
helping those in need,” said Assurant President and CEO Alan
Colberg. “While we are deeply honored and proud to be recognized
with these Communitas Awards, our biggest achievement is knowing
that we are helping people in the communities where we live and
work.”
Through its philanthropic arm, the Assurant Foundation, and four
business segments, Assurant Solutions, Assurant Specialty Property,
Assurant Health and Assurant Employee Benefits, the Company focuses
on supporting health and wellness, homes and property and hometown
help initiatives of nonprofit organizations.
Assurant Health received the Communitas Award for Leadership in
Community Service and Corporate Social Responsibility for its work
in the Milwaukee community where it is headquartered. In 2012, the
business refocused its approach to giving and now provides
financial support and volunteers to create deeper impact within
eight select non-profit organizations to help feed and house the
homeless, provide behavioral health services for at risk-children,
support children with health care needs and their families and
support teen pregnancy prevention.
For partnering with the Atlanta Habitat for Humanity in 2014,
Assurant’s Atlanta team was recognized with a Communitas award in
the Specific Volunteer Project category. Assurant’s 2014 Habitat
build project in Marietta, Ga. marked the 11th annual home built
solely with volunteers and funding from the business. Through
funding provided by the Assurant Foundation, Assurant is Habitat
for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta’s longest-running corporate
“whole house” sponsor – dedicated sponsors who agree to solely fund
and staff a complete homebuilding project. Assurant also ranks
among the top five corporate contributors in the chapter’s
history.
“By recognizing individuals, organizations and companies for
their volunteerism and socially responsible business practices, we
are hoping to not only bring attention to great programs, but are
working with community minded leaders to make the spirit of
communitas an essential element of every business,” said Ed
Dalheim, executive director of Association of Marketing and
Communication Professionals.
