Our external commitments

Swiss Re is a signatory to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #5, that is, “to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls”. At Swiss Re, promoting gender equality means, among other things, increasing the proportion of women in leadership positions – a strategic imperative for our business.

Swiss Re joined the UN Standards of Conduct for Business against LGBTI discrimination in November 2018, which reflects our commitment to creating an environment where everyone is included and able to bring their true selves to work.

Swiss Re has been included in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index, which underscores our strong commitment to gender-related topics and an inclusive work environment.
