American Modern Insurance Launches Dual Environmental Program

'TREE2' Campaign Restores Pines to Katrina-Stricken Areas; Encourages Paperless Bill-Paying Among Customers 


CINCINNATI, June 23  /PRNewswire/ -- American Modern Insurance Group combines tree conservation and restoration in its new TREE2 initiative, a national campaign appealing to the environmental conscience of new and existing customers.

The project from the 45-year-old specialty insurer is designed to save trees by encouraging customers to convert to electronic billing and payment. At the same time, the company will restore several thousand longleaf pines in areas destroyed by hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.

"A number of companies are promoting the move to paperless billing, and tying it to some type of 'green' initiative," said American Modern Senior Vice President Dennis Robich.  "The difference in American Modern's TREE2 initiative is that we're concentrating solely on replanting areas that have lost their trees to catastrophic weather events."

American Modern Insurance Group offers a variety of residential and recreational insurance products through six property and casualty subsidiaries.  Initially specializing in coverage for mobile and manufactured homes, the company still counts this market as its mainstay among a wide range of personal lines insurance offerings.

In an ambitious environmental outreach that will include parks, schools and other public properties in three states affected by the storms, American Modern is working in conjunction with The Longleaf Alliance, an affiliate of Auburn University.

"American Modern has always been the company that continues to work for its customers after the claim is paid," Robich noted.  "TREE2 fills an important need in an area that is typically challenging to insurance providers.  A company can hardly make a much more altruistic contribution than that."
