(3BL Media) August 14, 2012 - Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. has released its 2011 Corporate Citizenship Update, an overview of the Company's global corporate citizenship accomplishments over the last year.

The 2011 update includes information on the Company’s:

• Carbon reduction and reporting efforts
• Greener real estate portfolio that includes multiple LEED-certified facilities and progress toward a more environmentally conscious work space, while sustaining a real estate portfolio reduction of 6.26% in 2011
• Significantly increased participation in U.S. employee volunteering, which is focused primarily through national partnerships with the American Red Cross, Peace First, iMentor, Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, StreetWise Partners, Tuesday’s Children and Volunteer Consulting Group
• Diversity and inclusion initiatives such as expansion of the Company’s Employee Resource Groups, implementation of “Diversity Leadership Dialogues” with senior leadership and external outreach with organizations such as The Executive Leadership Council and the Hispanic Scholarship Fund

The update highlights significant steps taken by the Company in 2011 to establish a more unified, global approach to corporate social responsibility, refocusing its strategy to emphasize education as a key component of its commitment to helping communities and people at risk. The year also saw the development of a broader range of integrated client services and products, as well as intellectual capital related to sustainability.

The update is part of a two-year cycle of producing comprehensive reports, alternating with brief updates, and follows the Company’s first report on its 2010 corporate citizenship achievements. The Company will publish a larger report in 2013 detailing its corporate citizenship activities in 2012.
