Corporate Social Responsibility

As a property and casualty insurance company, we understand that climate change creates greater unpredictability of weather-related loss frequency and severity. This poses a long-term risk to the lives and livelihoods of our customers and our business. Our efforts to help address climate change and its associated impacts are centered on (i) prudent oversight and management of catastrophe risk exposure, (ii) helping our customers through responsive claims handling, safety management, and proactive weather alerts, (iii) allocating capital away from specific environmentally hazardous classes through underwriting and investment initiatives, and (iv) reducing our carbon footprint.

We strive to make a meaningful difference to our customers during moments that matter with a unique blend of exceptional insurance solutions matching policyholders’ unique needs, value-added services that facilitate risk management and mitigation, and professional and responsive claims handling.

Developing a talent pipeline that positions us for long-term success is a core strategic priority for Selective. We offer thousands of learning, training, and professional development opportunities that enhance team and individual employee strengths, helping them grow and prepare for leadership roles. Other development programs that generate a strong pipeline of talented leaders include our award-winning Ignite college internship, Momentum corporate trainee, and NextGen initiatives.

To a large extent, our success is based on the strength and well-being of the communities where we – and our customers and distribution partners – live and work. Selective’s philanthropic arm, the Selective Insurance Group Foundation, donates and coordinates contributions of time, money, and resources to important causes.

The foundation of our financial and operating success is strong governance, oversight, and transparency. Our engaged Board of Directors has the appropriate skillsets to monitor all aspects of our business, including our commitment to a culture of innovation and creativity. Our Code of Conduct imparts the strong integrity and purpose we expect from all employees. We seek to make our employee and management compensation transparent by linking our annual and long-term incentive programs to our financial and operating metrics and strategic initiatives.
