For the environment

Humana decreased its greenhouse gas emissions by 35% since 2017 and kept 64% of our waste out of landfills by centralizing office waste and recycling bins, reducing printers, and donating office furniture. In 2020, Humana began pursuing a goal of earning zero waste certification, focusing first on our West Chester, OH, pharmacy distribution site. Thanks in large part to leadership and the employees in West Chester, the facility is now a TRUE certified facility.

As we’ve adapted to working in new ways, we’ve reimagined and improved our real estate and facilities—including donating a 130,000 square foot furnished and office-equipped building. With the roof at Humana headquarters in downtown Louisville already retrofitted with solar panels, we’re evaluating additional sites to install more renewable energy.

Now that we’ve surpassed our 5-year objectives, we’re preparing for the decade ahead with a proposed Science Based Target (SBT). Our SBT includes ambitious goals that expand on our efforts to reduce emission and waste and mitigate other environmental factors that impact our health. Each goal within our SBT is designed to spur innovation and efficiency, boost investor confidence and align with national benchmarking.
