Proud of the successful launch and achievement of 8 Actions focused on diversity, equity and inclusion, Allison Green Johnson, SVP, Chief Diversity Officer of Lincoln Financial Group and President of Lincoln Financial Foundation, now focuses on their continuation. Results included developing and increasing minority leadership, expanding marketplace efforts, and enhancing community impact. Future actions will ensure diversity, equity and inclusion remain a key driver in the employee and client experience. Allison also leverages the Foundation’s (Lincoln's philanthropic arm) professional and nonprofit partnerships to support underserved and underrepresented communities, making a lasting impact through business strategy, community involvement and sustainable business practices.
A best practice contributing to the success of diversity, equity and inclusion and environmental, social and governance programs is transparency. Lincoln’s annual corporate social responsibility report, The Power of Us, describes the many activities across the enterprise that make substantial impacts, including the Foundation's contribution to hundreds of nonprofit partners and increased employee participation. Under Allison’s leadership, Lincoln earned perfect scores on the Corporate Equality Index and the Disability Equality Index.
