We embrace our environment

We take pride in being environmentally responsible and consider the impact on the environment in all our decisions. Our goal is to become a leader in environmental stewardship for our community and the insurance industry.

We are a member of Sustainable Waterloo Region. Our building was constructed to meet LEED® (Leadership in Energy Environmental Design) certification . In 2011 our building earned the LEED Gold designation.

We give back to our community

Supporting our community is a large part of Farm Mutual Re’s culture.  We contribute to numerous charities, and participate in the Adopt-a-Road program.

Our employees are entitled to one paid volunteer day each year and receive an annual allowance so they can support the charitable organizations of their choice.
