Ethical Practices

Ethical Practices

We consider it our core responsibility as a financial services firm to behave ethically, to protect customer information with the highest integrity and to impart our financial knowledge in a way that is easily digestible and serves our customers and clients efficiently and transparently.

In my various roles with Voya, I have had the opportunity to witness firsthand the many important ways that ethics and integrity shape our culture — making Voya a different kind of company. It is critical for earning and upholding the trust and confidence of our colleagues, customers, communities and shareholders.
