A Message from David Hunt
We Stand by Our Employees, Our Clients and Our Communities
PGIM is a global business with over 4,000 employees in offices across North America, Europe, and Asia. As we continue to monitor the ongoing developments related to COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus), we are focused on the health and safety of our employees as well as the continuity of our investment processes and business operations.
We are carefully adhering to the guidelines and protocols provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, and relevant government authorities. In addition, we have implemented preventative measures to safeguard employee health and to ensure that we are positioned to support our customers and business partners in the months ahead.
PGIM has a dedicated Business Continuity Management team staffed with full-time professionals, and each of our individual businesses have personnel in place to address resiliency activities specific to each organization. Across PGIM, we have existing business continuity plans outlining actions in the event of various types of scenarios - including a health crisis scenario – and we routinely test these plans and protocols as part of ongoing due-diligence.
Following are specific steps we are taking to minimize the impact to our business. Please note that given the rapidly developing nature of this situation, these protocols are evolving and subject to change.
As always, we continue to maintain a steadfast focus on our business globally, and we are confident that the protocols we have implemented to date will allow for the continuity of our business operations for the duration of this event.
Responding to the urgent and growing needs created by the COVID-19 pandemic, 153,000 face masks — including 75,000 n95 respirators — were donated.
