Fostering a Healthy Environment
In partnership with Keep America Beautiful®, employees from Centene subsidiary Wellcare pitch in to help clean up portions of the public beach along the Courtney Campbell Causeway in Tampa Bay, Florida.
Centene is committed to providing local solutions that improve our members’ resilience to the health impacts of environmental risks, which are often disproportionately experienced by the communities we serve. We are also focused on identifying how climate change could impact other aspects of our business, and seeking out strategies to prepare, respond and adapt.
Life-threatening weather events have the potential to displace thousands, and poor air quality negatively affects individuals with respiratory diseases such as asthma. Transformational change led by businesses, government agencies and communities can help reduce environmental health risks and create a resilient and livable future for all.
Environmental Impacts on Health
Centene’s efforts to understand and assess the potential impacts of a changing climate on our business enable more educated response planning, improved disclosure and awareness for our stakeholders and support a healthier future for our members and communities.
Environmental Sustainability
Environmental sustainability is an important part of Centene’s operations. As a company with employees working remotely or in offices, our efforts are focused on minimizing our environmental footprint in the areas we serve.
