Commitment to Community
John Hancock was the first to sign the Declaration of Independence in 1776 - forever leaving his mark on American history. Even today, leaving one's John Hancock on something is to boldly make an impact. John Hancock Financial Services, a unit of Manulife Financial Corporation, is committed to doing just that in all of its business and community efforts. And these community efforts helped John Hancock to garner the national Award for Excellence in Corporate Community Outreach by the Points of Light Foundation, the first company located in Massachusetts to do so.
Our community relations focus is to provide the greatest level of support for Boston youth and families most in need, distinctly making an impact by partnering with the community and leveraging all of our resources as a company including our highly skilled associates. In 2005, John Hancock associates contributed nearly 7,000 corporate volunteer hours, impacting nearly 5,000 youth, a leader in corporate volunteerism in Boston. By focusing on the city of Boston and its youth and families, we maximize our impact on our community, supporting Boston's state-of-the-art institutions and non-profit organizations. We choose Boston as our geographic focus as the city serves as the U.S. headquarters for Manulife Financial Corporation and has been John Hancock's home for more than 140 years.
