Alex Hindson Message
We see the Argo Group Environment, Social and Governance program as a journey. Publishing this report is a key step in providing transparency over our program. We are building our capability and working to articulate our sustainability strategy to our key stakeholders over time. A key constituency for us is our colleagues, both current and prospective. We see our commitment as a founding member of ClimateWise and signing up to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment as opportunities to demonstrate continuous improvement and continue to make Argo Group a great place to work.

Kate Nealon Message
At Argo Group, Environment, Social and Governance is a board-level issue. I am therefore delighted to support the publication of our first ESG report. It is a topic important to our stakeholders, including our investors, regulators, credit rating agencies and staff. We recognize the importance of ESG in managing our reputation. We see this as an opportunity to differentiate ourselves and reinforce our core mission, to help businesses stay in business.
