Sustainability report
Profit and value creation are prerequisites for sustainable development in the interests of our clients, shareholders, staff and business partners as well as for the fulfilment of our social responsibility. This includes the responsible underwriting of risks and diligent risk management, since these are vital conditions for assuring the quality of our business over the long term. Hannover Re consequently strives to be one of the three most profitable reinsurers in the world and consistently enhances its position. In so doing, our premise of achieving growth through self-generated profits and wherever possible avoiding imbalances that could necessitate capital measures continues to apply unchanged. We thus act guided solely by profitability considerations and concentrate on attractive segments of reinsurance business.
High ethical and legal standards are the platforms for our strategy and daily actions alike. We recognise that the public image of the Hannover Re Group is shaped by the manners and conduct of every single member of staff.
Successful, responsible and above all sustainable business management forms the basis for playing a positive role in society. It establishes the foundation that enables our company to continuously foster and advance its staff and support projects that are in the public interest.
