Environmental Activism

Across the country, Prudential Financial actively supports a broad range of employee and community efforts to improve the environment.

Employee Communications
We continually keep employees informed about environmental issues and encourage them to participate in environmental initiatives. Here are some of the things we do:

• Produce a "Green" issue of our company magazine
• Host informational seminars
• Hold discussions at staff and affinity group meetings
• Recognize employee volunteer projects
• Create webcasts about employee initiatives

Volunteerism
Prudential CARES, our employee volunteerism program, encourages employees around the world to volunteer in the communities where they live and work.

Through company-sponsored volunteer programs such as Global Volunteer Day, our employees give their time to many environmental projects. Past projects include cleaning up southern California beaches, and removing litter at Mt. Fuji in Japan and Eastside Park in New York City.

We also support volunteer work by granting thousands of dollars to non-profit organizations involved in environmental projects such as rainwater reclamation and sustainable agriculture.

Sponsorship
We support other companies' educational and volunteer initiatives:

• In 2008, Prudential Financial co-sponsored the first Global Green Expo, including onsite exhibitions by New Jersey's Turtleback Zoo and Liberty Science Center.
• We sponsored The Star-Ledger newspaper's PSE&G Global Green Expo.
• We are a signatory to the Business Roundtable's Climate Resolve initiative, as well as a number of other environmental initiatives.

Green Space
In our home state of New Jersey, Prudential Financial and The Prudential Foundation have provided financial assistance for environmental projects, including:

• The creation of The Prudential Outdoor Learning Center, which provides thousands of teachers and students with environmental learning experiences
• A project to decontaminate and replant nearly 30 acres of parkland at Liberty State Park
• The restoration of Branch Brook Park by the Branch Brook Park Alliance
