Dow Jones Description

We are a Washington State corporation with headquarters in Seattle. We had 9,200 employees at February 25, 2005. We?ve been in business since 1923 serving the insurance needs of drivers, home owners and small- and medium-sized businesses. Our business helps people protect what they value and deal with the unexpected. In 2004, we took steps to position Safeco for continued profitable growth. We completed the sale of our Life & Investments business. We rolled out Safeco Now, our unified, Web-based sales-and-service platform. We reorganized our company around the way we operate. With these actions, we are a focused, more nimble company. We?re intent on delivering the best mix of insurance coverages and pricing to our distributors and customers, and fulfilling the promise of our products when a loss occurs. Our Vision and Strategy Our vision is to be one of the top-performing property and casualty (P&C) insurance companies in the industry. To achieve our vision, we must be distinctly good at motivating our independent distributors to sell our products.
