As part of the Markel Style, we hold the individual’s right to self-determination in the highest light, providing an atmosphere in which people can reach their personal potential. We encourage career development, celebrate a diverse workforce, and recognize employees who are committed to a zealous pursuit of excellence. Ultimately, we strive to make Markel a place where our employees win by pursuing fulfilling careers. This includes serving our customers, continuously learning, and providing for communities in a dependable and sustainable fashion. While the Markel Style is an ideal, below you’ll see what happens when it’s put into action. The Markel Style guides us and reminds us to honor our commitment to our communities, which we accomplish through company donations complemented by employee-led giving. Making a difference locally starts with authentic engagement and continues with definitive action, whether through providing financial support or volunteering time. Together with our employees within our insurance-based business, we have a strong tradition of supporting local, national, and international organizations whose missions align with the Markel Style. Below you’ll find examples of how we take commitment to our communities seriously. The Markel Style inspires us to look for a better way to do things, and those efforts include actions and practices that reduce our impact on the environment. We look for ways within our business to minimize our impact through more sustainable practices and to be actively involved in efforts aimed at improving the world we live in. We are also mindful of the potential impact of environmental changes on our business and approach this with our usual long-term mindset, in particular with respect to our underwriting strategies.
