Board of Directors

The Board of Directors consists of 12 members. 

Diversity is a priority for the Board of Directors. A diverse composition is indispensable for the successful and efficient fulfilment of the Board’s responsibilities. Diversity considerations with regards to, among others, gender, age, nationality, race, ethnicity and regional representation are a priority for the Board composition.

The Bylaws require that at least three-quarters of the Board members are independent. Swiss Re defines independence in line with legal requirements and best practice corporate governance standards. On that basis, the Board of Directors assesses its members’ independence on an annual basis.

The Board of Directors has allocated tasks to the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Vice Chairperson of the Board of Directors and the Lead Independent Director.
