Clearly, we have a full plate of initiatives going
forward. Our agenda is ambitious, yet achievable.
And our confidence in the future is bolstered by
lessons from the recent past.
In the near decade since becoming
a public company, much has changed at Allstate.
But several characteristics have remained consistent:
- We have an unwavering commitment to integrity.
Our word is our bond.
- Our approach to change has been calculated,
not haphazard.
We built on our core strengths.
- We place a premium on execution. We did what
we said we’d do.
- We demonstrated a passion for success. Our
employees have been able to embrace, and to
implement change.
These attributes will continue
to serve us well. In many ways, Allstate today
represents the best of both worlds. As a company
with roots that go back more than 70 years, we
have financial strength and one of America’s
finest brands. Having functioned on our own as
a public company for nearly a decade, we’re
becoming nimble enough to respond to changing
markets and customer preferences.
The combination makes us a formidable competitor.
We’ll draw on all of these resources as
we expand our operations and our opportunities
in the years ahead.
Sincerely,
Edward M. Liddy
Chairman, President and CEO |
