It also describes the Voya Investment Management Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) Investment Program, which is part of the company’s focus on responsible products and services that help clients plan, invest and protect their assets.
Sections of the report focus on unique initiatives designed to strengthen Voya’s relationships with key audiences and demographics, including an executive board placement program and the Voya Cares program, an effort supporting the special needs community.
