Cigna Ranked First in the Health Care Industry for Supporting Healthy Communities and Families

Global health service company Cigna ranked first in the health care industry and ranked second on a new list of Top 100 U.S. Companies Supporting Healthy Communities and Families. The list, compiled by JUST Capital with support from Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, recognizes leading organizations that prioritize community health through supportive and sustainable business practices to improve the lives of employees, customers and neighbors.

“At Cigna, we are committed to creating a better future, together,” said David M. Cordani, president and CEO of Cigna. “To do this, we focus on the needs of our customers, patients and coworkers, one community, one person, one family at a time. This personalized approach to community engagement is at the core of what we do, and a critical reason why we invest in the communities where we live, work and play.”

Furthering the company’s commitment to improving the health and well-being of people globally, Cigna is investing $200 million in the Cigna Foundation and our communities to improve community services, address childhood wellness issues and help transform health care at the societal and local levels. As part of the $200 million investment, the company launched the Healthier Kids for Our Future initiative, a $25 million, 5-year commitment to improve the health of children globally. The first area of focus will be on children’s food insecurity and initiatives will work to help support the targets of the UN Sustainable Development Goal 2 – Zero Hunger.
