Environment

Healthy people. Healthy planet.

UnitedHealth Group works hard to minimize our impact on the environment by conserving energy and natural resources—and raising employee awareness about improving the environment.

To help make our community a healthier place to live and work, UnitedHealth Group will:

• Act in an environmentally responsible manner in the communities where we operate
• Provide a safe and healthy workspace for UnitedHealth Group employees, visitors, and guests
• Implement green strategies for our facilities and buildings, where feasible, through our environmental management group
• Raise awareness of environmentally sustainable practices by our employees
• Periodically evaluate our progress in implementing sustainable practices
• Comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations
