Unum Group

The Board has adopted a Code of Conduct establishing certain business practices and ethics applicable to all of our directors, officers and employees. Our Code guides employees on how to abide by the company's principles and access the resources available to address ethical issues that arise. We provide online and toll-free access to report issues confidentially and anonymously. We conduct annual training and offer self-service access to a variety of educational materials related to issues covered in our Code. The Board has also implemented a separate Code of Ethics applicable to our CEO and certain of our senior financial officers.

We expect all employees and officers of Unum to abide by the principles and policies set forth in our codes. Both of these codes are available on our investor relations website under the "Governance" heading at https://investors.unum.com. In the event we amend or waive any of the provisions of our codes applicable to our directors or executive officers, we intend to disclose them on this website to the extent required by SEC or NYSE rules.

Unum continuously strives to operate with the highest standard of excellence and fully understands that integrity and trust are central to all we do to support our customers and employees. This commitment was recognized externally for a sixth consecutive year, as Unum was named one of the World's Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere®, a global leader in defining and advancing corporate ethical standards. Unum has an independent review of our ethics and compliance program performed every three years, which will be conducted again in 2026. In 2023, Unum engaged Ethisphere to conduct a comprehensive review of Unum's ethics and compliance program, evaluating the program against regulatory guidelines, industry best practices, and other benchmarks. Unum earned Ethisphere’s Compliance Leader Verification for 2023 and 2024, which recognizes organizations with an outstanding commitment to achieving a best-in-class ethics and compliance program.
