We are strongly committed to ethical business practices, which include detailed sustainability governance, oversight and accountability. Our sustainability governance helps us run our business responsibly and integrate sustainability across our company.

Board of directors

Securian Financial’s board of directors is responsible for overseeing the company’s strategy, operations and risk, as well as oversight and accountability of our management team for ethical operations. While the board is ultimately responsible for our sustainability program, it has delegated some responsibilities to board and management committees, including:

• Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for our sustainability strategy, policies, governance and stakeholder engagement. It oversees corporate governance practices, board composition, and board and committee performance.
• Human Resources and Compensation Committee is responsible for our talent management, culture, benefits and compensation, health and safety, and DEI practices and policies.
• Audit Committee is responsible for sustainability and climate-related risks, disclosures, controls and procedures, as well as compliance with laws, regulations and the company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.
• Investment Committee is responsible for the company’s investment activities and responsible investing practices.

Accountability and management 

Securian Financial’s company-wide commitment to sustainability is guided by our enterprise Sustainability Committee which is directly accountable to company’s Executive Leadership Team. The committee is represented by officers and employees from across the company accountable for material sustainability topics and our business lines. The committee oversees the development and implementation of our sustainability strategy, monitors our performance, and ensures sustainability is integrated within our business decisions.
