Hannover Re's interactive Annual Report offers several new functions which we would like to describe here. Our goal is to exploit all possibilities that have been developed for online-presentations in order to enhance your ability to read and work with this report.

WAI-conform:

For the first time, Hannover Re's online Annual Report meets the guidelines of the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), thereby making the report accessible to readers with impaired vision.

Thematic Navigation:

Illustration Thematic Navigation

On the start page, you have the option of condensing the navigation of the Annual Report to meet your individual needs. You can choose sections that are relevant for you and only these themes will appear in the navigation. The "All themes" button restores the complete navigation.


Search Function:

Illustration Thematic Navigation

In the full text search, the search engine examines all of the words in your annual report and matches the word supplied by you. Please enter the keyword in the search box at the top right corner. The results will be shown on the next page ranked by relevance. Now you can click into your desired page. The keywords will be highlighted on this page. Example: Illustration Search results in the text
In addition all sections with this keyword will be highlighted in the navigation box (see right fig.). The places of discovery will stay as long as you navigate the report. To return to the search functions please click on CONTENT above the navigation.


History:

My Annual Report:

The function "Save page" can be found at the end of each page of the online report. This enables you to mark the page for later use. Through the "My Annual Report" function in the Service area at the left you can download these pages as a pdf-document or print them. In this way, you can create your own, individualised offline Annual Report.


Highlighting:

This online report provides exclusively HTML tables. A highlighter facilitates your reading of the tables. When you move the mouse over a line, the line will be visually highlighted.


Quick Analyser:

Quick Finder:

The Quick Finder provides you with a short list of sections which you can access directly.


Excel-Download:

Printing

Abbildung Drucken

You may find that you may want to print pages from the site for future references. Selecting the PRINT button from your browser or the "Print" button at the end of the main content area and directing your output to a printer would allow you to do this. This second "Print" function provides you an optimized version of the content area with the possibility to choose a print version including or excluding pictures. This decreases the time of printing and reduces the consumption of your ink or toner.
