Environmental sustainability is a large part of Centene’s day-to-day business operations. We pursue opportunities to minimize our impact on the environment. From the energy-efficient buildings that house our operations to enterprise-wide recycling initiatives, and now, hybrid and remote work culture, Centene cares about protecting our environment. Centene partners with local communities, nonprofit organizations and other businesses to create positive environmental impact. As part of the Centene Foundation’s partnership with American Rivers, an organization that protects rivers and conserves clean water, Centene employees have opportunities to demonstrate environmental stewardship. In 2022, employees collected litter during the Protect Our Planet Virtual Cleanup Challenge. At Centene, we recognize that the healthcare industry is constantly evolving. We take the lead in challenging ourselves and the world around us to be better. The continuous growth and development of our people is a top business priority. We believe in the power of learning and the value of employees having the opportunities to reinvent themselves. We actively provide employees with opportunities to learn and grow within their current roles as well as for roles in the future. Centene empowers each employee to lead from where they are. Whether employees access leadership training through the different leadership programs offered through Centene University, or apply to tailored programs through the St. Louis Business Diversity Initiative or the Hispanic Leadership Institute, we recognize the importance of investing in leaders at all levels. Centene also partners with employees to solicit their knowledge and ideas. Centene established SPARK, its annual employee crowdsourcing innovation competition, which gives team members the opportunity to introduce new ideas and solutions. Centene believes that strong corporate governance is important to ensure we are able to create and sustain long-term value for our stakeholders. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the oversight of enterprise-wide risk management at Centene, while management is responsible for day-to-day risk management.
