Quote from – Mariner Kemper, President, Chairman and CEO

Our governance framework is firmly rooted in risk management and compliance and establishes the foundation of our sustainability and ESG program. We continually adapt to find the right balance of business practices, meeting obligations and using our resources to do good. In a complex world, finding that balance is not always easy, but for more than 100 years we've run our business on the founding principle of doing what's right.
– Mariner Kemper, President, Chairman and CEO

Accountability is part of every decision we make, and we infuse our values of integrity, trust, strength, commitment and diversity into our core operating strategies.

UMB-CC-Board-Of-Directors

We believe diversity among our directors enriches company decision-making and fosters robust, critical-thinking. Our directors come from a variety of industries and backgrounds - but each of them has integrity, curiosity and a commitment to hard work.

UMB-CC-Inclusion-Diversity

Diversity and inclusion

There's no magic way to ensure an inclusive environment; it's something we work towards, learn from and redefine every day. We take steps to maintain an open dialogue and take time to truly get to know the people we work with on a deeper level.
