Results spotlighted the completion of all 12 organizational, leadership, and innovation goals the Credit Union established in 2020. Chief among these was maintaining climate neutrality even as UNFCU grew to exceed $10 billion in assets and more than 800 employees.
“UNFCU’s commitment to sustainability reflects our responsibility to serve both current and future generations,” said Pamela Agnone, President and CEO of UNFCU. “Over the past five years, our Board, leadership team, and employees have demonstrated that environmental stewardship, financial resilience, and member service can advance together.

UNFCU’s annual reporting on sustainability also highlights a decade of impact by the UNFCU Foundation, the Credit Union’s Business Resources Groups that furthered staff engagement, well-being, and inclusivity, and its Global Sustainability Program. Each pillar advanced local impact on a global scale. The more than 11,000 staff volunteer hours recorded last year in the communities where UNFCU has a presence represent a reporting highlight and a milestone in the organization’s longstanding practice of social responsibility.
“Inspired by our members’ tireless work to build a better world, sustainability is woven into our strategy, from operations, service delivery, member outreach and education,” said Yma Gordon, Senior Vice President, Global Impact & Inclusion at UNFCU, and Executive Director of the UNFCU Foundation. “It’s who we are as a credit union. Our cooperative values guide how we serve members, strengthen communities, build resilience, and create opportunities for those who need them most.”

NEW YORK, June 15, 2026 /3BL/ – Twenty years ago, on August 4, 2006, 17 staff members of Action Against Hunger who were delivering humanitarian aid, were executed in our office in Muttur, Sri Lanka. They were wearing T-shirts and vests clearly identifying them as humanitarian workers. Despite compelling evidence pointing to the likely responsibility of Sri Lankan security forces, twenty years on and we are still waiting for justice to be served.
Action Against Hunger calls on the Sri Lankan government to end decades of impunity and open a new investigation into this case. This investigation should comply with international standards, particularly regarding transparency and witness protection. We call on the international community to support this request and to do everything possible to ensure that the truth about this crime is brought to light.
The Muttur massacre remains one of the deadliest attacks ever carried out against humanitarian workers. Action Against Hunger, along with several international bodies, including the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights, the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission and other NGOs, have repeatedly concluded that this attack was likely committed by Sri Lankan security forces and that it was subject to attempts of concealment by the authorities.
“Twenty years on, we continue to fight for justice for the brutal murder of our 17 colleagues, who were killed while delivering life-saving aid. Many were at the beginning of their careers, and their families, like us, have never truly recovered from this loss. We cannot accept that the perpetrators of this crime will remain unpunished,” said Perrine Benoist, Co-Director of Action Against Hunger France.
Families Still Waiting for Justice
For two decades, the victims’ relatives have lived with the pain of their loss and the absence of justice. One of them shared with Action Against Hunger:
“Even after 20 years, the pain of what happened is still in my heart. I miss my brother. Those responsible should be punished.”
Another added: “This loss will hurt me now and until the end of my days.”
Rising Attacks Against Humanitarian Workers
Humanitarian workers are protected under International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and should never be targeted, yet attacks against them are increasing worldwide. Over the past three years, more than 1,000 humanitarian workers have been killed. In times of crisis, humanitarians are on the front line: they provide essential assistance and save lives. Their work must be protected to ensure the delivery of life-saving aid to populations in need.
“For years, the lack of justice for this crime has had repercussions on the protection of humanitarians everywhere. Muttur sends a signal that such attacks can go unpunished. Today, we are witnessing a rise in attacks against humanitarians on an unprecedented scale. It is imperative that Sri Lankan authorities provide answers and that justice is finally served,” added Perrine Benoist.

HARTFORD, Conn., June 15, 2026 /3BL/ – Aetna®, a CVS Health® company (NYSE: CVS), today announced the launch of the second generation Aetna Claims Assist Manager (CAM), an AI-powered agentic claims advisor platform designed to streamline claims processing and improve payment accuracy. Insurance claims processing remains a major cost driver across the U.S. healthcare system, where administrative activities account for roughly a quarter of total spending. According to the 2023 CAQH Index, providers and health insurers spend an estimated $80 billion each year managing administrative transactions. The 2025 CAQH Index also estimates the healthcare industry could save more than $20 billion each year through further automation of administrative processes, including claims-related workflows.CAM, with adjuster AI agents, reduces processing time by over 20% for complex claims that require manual review, helping providers get paid faster and more consistently. Bringing together eligibility, coverage, member and provider data, AI agents automate resolutions and recommend next-best actions.“Claims Assist Manager shows how we are using AI to modernize the fundamentals of healthcare operations,” said Katerina Guerraz, EVP and Chief Operating Officer at Aetna. “By reducing manual steps and accelerating decision making, we are delivering faster, more reliable outcomes for providers and members.”The platform responds directly to provider feedback. In Aetna’s recent provider survey, reducing administrative burden and simplifying insurance processes ranked among the highest priorities.
Claims Assist Manager is part of CVS Health’s $20 billion multi‑year investment in digital innovation aimed at simplifying the U.S. health system and creating a more seamless experience for consumers. Beyond claims processing, CAM demonstrates how automation, predictive analytics, and intelligent workflows can modernize complex administrative operations—at scale—while improving the provider and member experience.
