Donations

In the year under review Hannover Re adopted a new Donations Guideline, under which the company donates a total of EUR 100,000 per year in support of various projects; the funds are shared equally between the following categories:

• social and scientific causes,
• environment and climate protection,
• staff (further and advanced training, compatibility of work and family life),
• protection and welfare of young people,
• advancement of medicine/humanitarian projects.

The awarding of donations is guided above all by the criterion of benefit to the public. We do not donate to organisations or projects in the following areas: politics, churches and religious movements, protection of historical buildings or animal welfare.
