We unveiled our new logo – the fifth in the company’s history – during the second half of the year. The script style gives the logo the feeling that it was handwritten, which is a nod to the personal service we provide to our customers. But unlike most script, ours stands upright, providing a more contemporary feel. We believe this gives a nice sense of our history, our modern capabilities and our strength moving forward.
Like the rest of the insurance industry, we’ve also been put to the test over the past few years by fluctuating financial markets, devastating natural disasters and a life-altering pandemic. I’m pleased to report that, despite all of this, we remain in a solid financial position, and are well equipped to weather these economic issues and be there for you when you need us most. Learn more about our 2022 financials here.
From the time of our founding in 1907, Amica has exemplified service and excellence by protecting our policyholders and the things that matter most to them. Through prudent business practices and careful management, we’ve stood the test of time and established significant financial strength and stability. Maintaining our customers’ trust and providing them with peace of mind is something we’re dedicated to at every level of this organization.
A Message From Our CEO
Empathy in Action
Welcome to the 2022 Amica Annual Report
Our long-term success has been achieved by holding strong to foundational principles that are at the heart of what Amica stands for. It’s an approach that allows us to provide unwavering peace of mind, value and security to our customers, our employees and our communities.
Since our founding, Amica has aimed to attract customers who are responsible and risk-averse. Then, we partner with you to protect valuable parts of your life, provide you with world-class service and form lasting relationships that often extend through generations. And if the unexpected happens, you can trust you’ll be met with empathy and guidance from our caring representatives.
Empathy is important because it sets us apart from our competitors. It elevates a relationship that’s often transactional to one that’s meaningful, and it’s at the root of why customers stay with Amica for life. In fact, 98% of customers who bundle auto, home and umbrella insurance with us come back year after year.
We believe so strongly in the power of empathy that we made it the focus of our new marketing messaging. In 2022, we rolled out a campaign that showcases the way we support customers in times of need. Learn more about that campaign here.
We also know the employees who provide this type of service need to be supported and taken care of. As an employer of thousands across the country, we’re proud to offer an inclusive workplace where our people can grow both personally and professionally. The result is a compassionate and talented team that gives you an insurance experience you can rely on.
Another thing we really care about at Amica is our community. Active involvement in the places where we live and work – both through charitable giving and volunteerism – is an important part of our corporate culture. We were excited to continue supporting the impactful work of hundreds of nonprofits around the country in 2022. Learn more about that support here.
Thank you for taking the time to read our Annual Report. Please know how grateful we are for your business, and how much we’re looking forward to serving you in the year ahead.

Combined ratio expresses the relationship between expenses incurred (operational costs and claim payments) to premiums earned. Our combined ratio in 2022 was higher than we had originally planned due to factors like inflation, supply chain challenges and volatile investment markets. These were conditions that impacted the entire insurance industry.

Our new look and feel
In September, we were awarded the naming rights to the Civic Center in Providence, Rhode Island. The building was renamed Amica Mutual Pavilion (the AMP), and is home to the Big East’s Providence College men’s basketball team and the AHL’s Providence Bruins ice hockey team. It also hosts major national touring acts, family shows and other sporting events. Not only does this signal our lasting commitment to the state, it strengthens our bonds with the Rhode Island community.
