    Corporate responsibility

    Corporate responsibility

    Building healthier, more equitable communities

    Our commitments are designed to advance the health of our people and planet. We focus on promoting the health and wellbeing of customers, employees and communities, and our goal is to build a healthier, more equitable Boston – our hometown for over 150 years. We’re not just writing checks to fund programs, but inspiring innovation and collaboration to create sustained change to solve our most pressing challenges.

    Our commitments 

    • Community investment

      Our goal is to help make Boston a healthier and more equitable city. We bring our mission to life with a strong commitment to make decisions easier and lives better. ​By leveraging our core competencies and strategic community investments, we partner with organizations that address disparities in health and financial outcomes in particular for BIPOC communities. To achieve this goal, we focus on two impact areas: healthy, active living and financial well-being.

       

      Healthy, active living: We believe healthy living is essential to a long and happy life. With a focus on prevention, we support innovative health and wellness initiatives that inspire people to be physically active and eat healthy, well-balanced diets.

       

      Financial well-being: Feeling in control of your financial future is an important part of overall well-being. We support sustainable initiatives that empower people to gain the knowledge, skills and experience they need to achieve long-term economic success.

       

      In addition to alignment with the focus areas, John Hancock evaluates the partner’s approach to problem-solving, ability to demonstrate sustained impact, and partnership opportunities.
       

      Approach alignment

      •  Demonstrates an understanding of root cause of societal issues 

      •  Is a trusted connection to the community

      •  Involves community and other stakeholders in problem solving 

       

      Sustained impact 

      •  Reports on measurable outcomes in alignment with our impact areas

      •  Demonstrates behavior change among individuals or families served or systems change in community

       

      Partnership opportunities 

      •   Able to engage John Hancock beyond dollars (e.g. employee engagement/volunteering, thought leadership)

       

    • Corporate giving

      Prospective nonprofit partners must meet the following criteria to be considered for support:
       

      •  Organization is a registered 501(c)(3)

      •  Programs benefit the Boston community

      •  Donations do NOT benefit an individual or private entity

      •  Organization is NOT a religious or political organization, unless operating with a mission of social welfare under a separate 501(c)(3)

      •  Organization has policies in place that prohibits discrimination based on race, color, gender (including pregnancy), gender identity, genetic information, disability, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, age, veteran, or marital status.

      •  Mission is aligned with John Hancock’s mission and strategic focus areas

    MLK Scholars Program

    Built on the inspirational values and legacy of its namesake, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., John Hancock’s MLK Scholars program addresses a critical need in Boston - summer jobs for city youth. Each summer, we sponsor the employment of over 600 Boston teens at nearly 60 local non-profit organizations—the largest summer jobs program of its kind in United States. To elevate the work experience, John Hancock organizes a series of Leadership Forums, and provides access to an online financial literacy course.

     

    This empowering program turns scholars into leaders in the office, the classroom and the greater community.

     

    We are accepting applications from interested non-profit partners for Summer 2021, until 5:00pm, January 29, 2021. Selected partners will be notified in mid-February.
