In 2019, we secured the 110-year-old Mandel building on North Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. Our renovation to the former printing and manufacturing building will preserve its historic character while incorporating sustainable practices. The site will include our second DreamBank location, along with a variety of community and office spaces to create meaningful impact for our organization, our customers and our community.

Environment

In 2019, we eliminated plastic straws from our Madison, Wis.-area cafeterias. Our sustainability staff completed a waste audit of our National Headquarters operations, and we organized a Zero Waste Champions group with employees who advocate for sustainable practices. We also expanded waste collection metrics by location and waste stream and completed an employee e-waste collection drive which prevented more than 13 tons of hazardous waste from entering the landfill.

People

American Family believes an individual’s well-being goes beyond physical health. It extends to emotional and mental health, financial well-being, community engagement, meaningful relationships, stress management and heightened mindfulness. And when our employees experience a higher level of well-being, they’re better able to inspire, protect and restore our customers’ dreams. That’s why we offer a well-being program that motivates employees to embrace healthy behaviors and maintain these habits over time.
