Aflac Recognized as One of World's Most Ethical Companies for 19th Year

Aflac’s Commitment to Ethical Practices Reinforces Industry Leadership

Aflac Incorporated, a leading provider of health supplemental insurance in the United States and a top provider of cancer and medical insurance in Japan, reaffirms its industry leadership by being named one of the World's Most Ethical Companies for the 19th consecutive year in 2025. This recognition by Ethisphere underscores Aflac's unwavering commitment to ethical business practices since the list's inception in 2007, making it the only insurance company to achieve such a distinction. Aflac's Chairman and CEO, Dan Amos, highlights that this honor is not merely a badge of achievement, but a reflection of the core values that the company adheres to, which are pivotal in fostering trust among consumers, investors, employees, and sales teams.

The significance of Aflac's commitment to ethics is further demonstrated through its extensive social responsibility initiatives. Since 1995, the company has donated over $187 million to the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, showcasing its dedication to improving the lives of those afflicted by serious health issues. This philanthropic approach is complemented by Aflac's innovative My Special Aflac Duck® program, which provides robotic duck companions to children battling cancer and sickle cell disease. The distribution of more than 35,000 of these supportive companions across the U.S., Japan, and Northern Ireland not only emphasizes Aflac's commitment to social responsibility but also highlights its unique approach to addressing the emotional needs of young patients.

Beyond its charitable contributions, Aflac prioritizes regulatory compliance and ethical conduct among its workforce. The company instills a culture of integrity by ensuring that all employees adhere to the highest standards of ethical behavior. This emphasis on compliance and ethics is crucial for maintaining the trust that Aflac has built over decades in the insurance sector. As one of 136 honorees recognized across 19 countries and 44 industries this year, Aflac’s long-standing commitment to ethical practices and community support continues to distinguish it within the competitive insurance landscape.

In addition to its ethical accolades, Aflac remains focused on enhancing customer experience and expanding its product offerings. The company's initiatives aim to address the evolving needs of policyholders, ensuring that they receive comprehensive support in times of medical crises. This focus on customer-centric solutions positions Aflac favorably within the health insurance market.

As Aflac celebrates its recognition as an ethical leader, it also looks towards the future, striving to maintain its high standards of integrity and community involvement. The company's ongoing efforts to support health and wellness initiatives reflect its core mission to provide peace of mind to its clients and their families during challenging times.
