(SEPTEMBER 15, 2023) \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freeway.com\/\">Freeway Insurance<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.freewayseguros.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Freeway<\/a> Seguros), a division of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.confie.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Confie<\/a>, the largest independent personal lines agency and broker in the U.S., is proud to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. For nearly 40 years, Freeway has been a committed partner and contributing member of the Hispanic communities it serves across the country. National Hispanic Heritage Month, which started on Sept. 15 and continues through Oct. 15, celebrates U.S. Hispanics, their culture, and their history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its founding, the company has had deep ties to the Hispanic community. The majority of the company\u2019s retail offices and workforce reside in predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods, and nearly 70 percent of Freeway\u2019s agents are multilingual (primarily in Spanish), making it one of the most diverse insurance companies of scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cConfie has developed a robust diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) culture across all of our brands,\u201d said Cesar Soriano, Confie CEO. \u201cOur DEI program focuses on building trust through a strong belief in valuing the unique individual as part of the team. We don\u2019t just do this once a year. We\u2019ve built a winning culture that celebrates diversity every day by fostering discussions, promoting ongoing communication, and highlighting individuals for the strengths they bring to the table.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Freeway Insurance has a dedicated Spanish-language website (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.freewayseguros.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Freeway Seguros<\/a>) that mirrors its English site so that those who speak Spanish as a primary language are able to access informative articles. &nbsp;In July, the company launched \u201cConocimentos\u201d, a revamped knowledge center that includes extensive information for immigrants on topics and tolls about living in the US, finance, and health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Freeway has entered its third year as a proud sponsor of Mexican-American NASCAR driver <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freeway.com\/company\/daniel-suarez-sponsorship\/\">Daniel Su\u00e1rez<\/a> and Trackhouse Racing Team. The company selected Su\u00e1rez based not only on his driving potential but also on his passion for giving back to his Hispanic community roots and his powerful life story of perseverance and success against all odds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniel shares what he loves most about his heritage below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, there has been greater recognition of the influence of Hispanic culture and leadership within the United States. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2021\/09\/09\/key-facts-about-u-s-latinos-for-national-hispanic-heritage-month\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Hispanic population<\/a> reached 62.1 million in 2020, up from 50.5 million in 2010. The 23% increase in the Hispanic population was faster than the nation\u2019s growth rate (+7%). As Hispanic economic influence has grown, so too have companies that serve the community well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Freeway is proud to reaffirm its commitment to serving and supporting diverse communities, an approach that will remain the foundation of its growth and focus. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Freeway Insurance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Freeway Insurance sells affordable insurance policies by phone, online, and in-person, providing coverage to customers nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Established in 1987, Freeway offers insurance policies via a \u201cclick, call, or come-in\u201d approach that provides customers coverage throughout the United States.
