About us

We are one of the world’s leading providers of reinsurance, insurance and other forms of insurance-based risk transfer. Through our work with clients we fulfill our vision of helping to make the world more resilient.

We have a distinct mission: Together, we apply fresh perspectives, knowledge and capital to anticipate and manage risk. That's how Swiss Re creates smarter solutions for our clients, helping the world rebuild, renew and move forward. Today 75% of risks – from natural catastrophes and climate change, to ageing populations and cybercrime – remain uninsured. We aim to change that.

Headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, where it was founded in 1863, the Swiss Re Group operates through a network of around 80 offices globally. Our approximately 14,500 employees provide a wide range of technical expertise, enabling us to develop unique solutions and drive growth. Swiss Re is organised into two Business Units, each with a distinct strategy and set of objectives contributing to the Group’s overall mission. Through our strong financial position, we provide the security clients need, especially during times of uncertainty and transition.

Swiss Re combines financial strength and risk expertise to deliver innovative solutions to our clients. While what we do is important, how we work with clients is just as valuable. We understand that our clients bring deep knowledge of their markets and customers, while we bring a wider risk perspective working across segments around the global. This collaboration yields better solutions to our client's risk-management needs. In short, we're smarter together.

Throughout our 155-year history we have helped our clients withstand natural and man-made disasters, and economic crises. We've achieved this by living our core values of client centricity, agility, team spirit, passion to perform, and integrity.
