Our approach to corporate responsibility
Based on our Group Code of Conduct we have developed a corporate responsibility framework that clearly defines where we put the focus for implementation. We report on our progress on a regular basis.
Our commitment to being a responsible company is incorporated in our Group Code of Conduct, which is valid for all our employees across the globe.
Group Code of Conduct
“Swiss Re takes pride in being a law-abiding, ethical and socially responsible organisation that deals fairly and professionally with its stakeholders – our employees, shareholders, customers, government regulators and the general public.”
For the implementation of our commitment, we put a special focus on three areas. They form the pillars of our corporate responsibility framework:
- our corporate governance regime;
- our efforts to integrate sustainability in our core business and operations;
- our activities as a good corporate citizen.
In addition, we attach high value on two areas that underlie all our efforts to be a responsible company: engaging in dialogue with key stakeholders and being a good employer.
Accountability is an integral part of being a responsible company. Since 1998, we have been publishing a yearly Group-wide report that provides a comprehensive account of our key activities and achievements.
