⇱ Delivering On Our Promises for 165 Years | Guardian


About our company

Helping people protect what they love most — since day one.

Who we are

Guardian makes a difference in the lives of people when they need us most. With over 165 years of stability and fiscal integrity, we are a trusted resource to generations of families and business owners, inspiring well-being and helping build financial confidence.

Today, we stand behind millions of consumers, helping them prepare and plan for a bright future for themselves and their families. We help business owners care for their employees. And we help people recover and thrive in times of unexpected loss.

As a modern mutual insurance company, we believe in driving value beyond dividends. We invest in our colleagues, are building an inclusive and innovative culture, and are helping to uplift communities through thoughtful corporate impact programs.

What we stand for

In 1860, a community of immigrants joined together to insure and protect their businesses and families. They were guided by powerful ideals that we’ve continued to stand behind and evolved throughout the years: we do the right thing, we believe people count, we courageously shape the future together, and we go above and beyond for the people we serve.

Guardian employees embrace and live by these values every day. They remind us to put people at the heart of all we do so that we can help protect what matters most to you.

Want to help bring these values to life? Join us for a rewarding career and the opportunity to shape the future.

Our equity and inclusion commitment: Expanding mindsets, changing behaviors, and creating stronger diversity through integration.

In addition, the Board established a minimum amount of dividend allocation — no less than $1.56 billion to be distributed in 2026 to participating life policyholders with policy dates as of January 1, 1984 and later.
