COLUMBUS, Ga., Aug. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Aflac, the leading provider of voluntary insurance sales at the worksite in the United States, today announced the unveiling of its 2015 Corporate Social Responsibility Report. The comprehensive report highlights the community activities conducted by the company, its employees and independent agents throughout 2015.

"This report is a window into our company that enables policyholders, shareholders and the public to share in Aflac's dedication to transparency, ethics and integrity – the 'duckprints' that we leave on our world."
The title and theme of the 2015 report, "Leaving Our Duckprints," pays homage to the company's iconic advertising mascot and represents Aflac's promise to do right by the people who entrust their lives and livelihoods to the company. It includes testimonials from policyholders who have been helped by Aflac products and services, as well as environmental conservation reporting and information about Aflac's commitment to honest and transparent governance. The theme also reflects Aflac's ongoing philanthropic causes, which the company calls "Duckprints," asking readers to consider how they will join us in leaving their positive duckprints on their community, the nation and the world.
The report is divided into chapters reflecting Aflac's governance, workplace, corporate giving and environmental sustainability. It includes extraordinary stories about Aflac employees who have made significant individual contributions to the community, including James Mailman, who continues to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to help children as they battle pediatric cancer and has been named a 2015 Hero of the Fortune 500 by Fortune Magazine.
