MISSION STATEMENT
Introduction
The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE: HIG), headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut, is an iconic
leader in property and casualty (P&C) insurance, group employee benefits, and mutual funds. Founded in
1810 as a fire insurance company, the corporation has backed major historic developments—insuring
Abraham Lincoln’s home, the Hoover Dam, and the Golden Gate Bridge—and survived devastating historical
milestones by honoring claims through personal leadership reserves. Today, with over two centuries of
expertise, The Hartford operates as a premium, technology-forward insurer, blending deep actuarial precision
with extensive independent agent distribution networks and exclusive affinity partnerships to secure small
businesses, corporations, and millions of individuals nationwide.
Mission Statement
The Hartford anchors its operational purpose around human enablement, comprehensive risk mitigation, and
community-centric protection that goes beyond traditional insurance lines:
"Human achievement is at the heart of what we do. We put our belief into action by not only ensuring
individuals and businesses are well protected, but by going even further – making an impact in ways
that go beyond an insurance policy."
Strategic analysts measure the deployment of this mission across three distinctive operational pillars:
Small Business and P&C Leadership:
Operating as a dominant national force in Small Commercial
underwriting and workers' compensation insurance, deploying automated, straight-through quoting
engines to streamline policy bind timelines for agents.
Group Benefits and Workplace Security:
Ranking as a premier national provider of fully insured
disability and group life benefits, incorporating absence/leave management technology to support
organizational workforce continuity.
Exclusive Multi-Decade Affinity Systems:
Maintaining an exclusive direct personal lines auto and home
insurance partnership with AARP, combining targeted market research from its Center for Mature Market
Excellence with specialized aging-in-place risk solutions.
