Corporate Social Responsibility

Communities prosper when people and organizations demonstrate resilience in the face of challenges and the confidence to achieve the future they envision. At American Financial Group (AFG), we seek to instill that sense of assurance and greater possibilities—not only with our insurance products but also by acting as a responsible corporate citizen.

Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

AFG is committed to a workplace where all employees feel included, empowered, and enabled to perform their best and where Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are recognized as essential to our ongoing success. Our DEI efforts are fundamental to our ability to attract, develop, and retain a high-performing workforce.

Strategy and Beliefs

Our DEI strategy encompasses three key areas:
- Organizational Culture
- Learning and Development
- Talent Acquisition
We believe that –
- Diversity provides the potential for greater innovation and creativity
- Equity creates the opportunities to release the potential, and
- Inclusion enables us to realize the potential through involvement and engagement.

Working Groups and Committees

The Company supports several employee-led DEI working groups and committees focused on furthering DEI visibility and efforts.
As we seek to attract, develop, and retain a high-performing workforce, we grow and nurture strategic relationships with affinity groups, such as the National African-American Insurance Association (NAAIA).
The company's collaboration with NAAIA provides the opportunity for employee memberships, attendance at its annual conference, networking events, and a wide range of leadership and education workshops and seminars.
The company is also a proud supporter of the Association of Professional Insurance Women (APIW), a premier organization committed to the career advancement of women insurance professionals.
Our sponsorship of getWITit programming helps to promote a supportive environment where women of all backgrounds flourish in technology and is an avenue to create opportunities for women to inspire others.

Learning and Development Opportunities

During 2022, we hosted a Company-wide day of learning focused on building an inclusive culture. We regularly offer special events with external speakers to continue to develop a core competency of "Valuing Diversity."
