Legal & General CSR Report 2006

What Customers Expect

Within our customer research programme we have conducted around 90 market research projects to obtain feedback on how our products and services are viewed by existing and potential customers, IFAs and Business Partners. As part of this we have again participated in research (Mori CSR Research) to understand what customers want and expect from the companies they deal with.

It’s very important for us to know what good corporate citizenship means to customers and whether we are meeting their expectations. They’re telling us that ‘conducting business ethically’, ‘treating our employees fairly’ and ‘treating customers well’, are the top three issues for Legal & General to focus on.

  • Conduct business ethically
    This continues to be crucial to our business and we have an active internal communication programme to ensure that our employees are aware of what is expected of them. Last year, this included the development of a computer-based training module on ethics and an Ethics Awareness Day in our Kingswood office to engage employees in a fun and innovative way (see ‘Our Approach to CSR’).
  • Treat employees fairly
    Our comprehensive range of policies and practices underpin our efforts to ensure that our employees are treated fairly (see ‘Our People’).
  • Treat customers well
    Our commitment to customer experience continues to be a key way in which we strive to meet this expectation. Launched in March 2005, our Customer Experience Programme continues with strong support from senior managers and their teams across the business.
