Andesa’s Certified Evergreen^® Recertification: A Commitment to Lasting Impact

We are thrilled to announce that as of September 2024, Andesa has been recertified as a Certified Evergreen company by the Tugboat Institute^®. This prestigious recognition reaffirms our dedication to building a business rooted in purpose, sustainable growth, and continuous improvement. Our Certified Evergreen recertification reflects our commitment to the Evergreen principles and underscores our promise to our clients, employees, and communities—captured in our guiding vision, Andesa Forever.

Andesa Forever: A Promise of Excellence and Endurance

At the heart of Andesa lies Andesa Forever, our pledge to continually enrich our culture, relationships, and values. It reflects our deep-rooted belief that success is not merely measured in profits but in the long-term, meaningful relationships we build with our employee-owners, clients, business partners, and communities.

Andesa Forever empowers our employee-owners to reach their full potential, personally and professionally, while helping our clients achieve the same. This commitment ensures that as we grow, we remain purpose-driven, resilient, and built to last.

A shared commitment to the core values of respect, integrity, courage, honesty, initiative, and responsibility drives our employee-owners. These principles aren’t just words on paper—we live them daily. They shape how we work, lead, and interact. This value system defines Andesa Forever and guides us in every decision.

Living the Evergreen Principles at Andesa

As a Certified Evergreen company, we’re also guided by the Evergreen 7Ps^® Principles—a framework that aligns seamlessly with Andesa Forever. These principles guide every facet of our business and support our focus on sustainable, purpose-driven success:

• Purpose: Our mission is clear—to enable our employee-owners and our clients to reach their full potential. We do this by providing industry-leading policy lifecycle solutions that empower life insurance carriers and their distribution partners. This purpose drives every action we take.
• Perseverance: We are resilient. We persevere through challenges and remain committed to long-term success for ourselves, our clients, and the communities we serve.
• People First: Our greatest strength is our people. We foster a work environment built on respect, integrity, and responsibility. We help employee-owners thrive—enabling them to deliver superior service and forge long-lasting client relationships.
• Private: Being privately held allows Andesa to stay true to our long-term vision. We prioritize decisions based on what’s best for our employees, clients, and the company’s future over short-term gains. This independence fuels our innovation and commitment to integrity.
• Profit: While profitability sustains our operations, it is not our primary goal. We view it as a means to reinvest in our people, processes, and communities, ensuring Andesa remains strong and sustainable for future generations.
• Paced Growth: At Andesa, we’re committed to measured, thoughtful growth. By balancing short-term success with a long-term strategic vision, we ensure that each step forward is steady, secure, and beneficial to both our clients and our business.
• Pragmatic Innovation: We embrace innovation with a careful, pragmatic approach. By continuously improving our offerings while aligning with our purpose and values, we ensure that every new development strengthens our commitment to clients and the industry.

Giving Back: Our Commitment to the Community

Andesa Forever extends beyond business growth and client success—it’s also about positively impacting the communities where we live and work. Volunteering is a central part of our culture. Whether through company-wide initiatives or personal efforts, our employee-owners are proud to contribute to the places that have supported us over the years. Our dedication to community engagement reinforces our purpose of making a meaningful, lasting difference in the lives of those around us.

Looking Ahead: A Future Built on Andesa Forever

As we celebrate our Evergreen recertification, we’re reminded that Andesa Forever is more than a slogan—it’s a reflection of who we are and what we stand for. By staying true to the Evergreen 7Ps Principles and our core values, we are building a company that not only endures but thrives. Our dedication to long-term growth, people, and purpose remains our guiding beacon as we chart a sustainable, resilient path forward.

At Andesa, the future is Evergreen—and it’s built on the foundation of Andesa Forever.
