Dialogue with clients and partners

Our re/insurance solutions help clients and partners manage the risks they face. This in turn supports economic stability and helps create growth potential. However, many of today’s risks are complex and may threaten sustainable progress. To find effective, long-term responses to such risks, partners from the public and the private sectors must work together. We therefore attach great importance to engaging in an active dialogue with our principal stakeholders, which include:

• Clients: cedents, brokers, corporates, government entities, multilateral organisations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs)
• Financial community: investors/shareholders, rating agencies, shareholder associations, stock exchanges
• Employees
• Political and legal entities: multilateral organisations, governments, regulators, standard-setting boards
• Civil society: the general public, NGOs, academia

Promoting responses to key risks

As a risk knowledge company and ultimate risk-taker in society, we have an intrinsic interest in pursuing productive dialogues with our stakeholders. Drawing on the expertise from our core business, we strive to identify key risks and take an active role in discussions about them. Swiss Re Institute plays a key role in the Group’s dialogue with stakeholders.

Focused efforts help generate valuable feedback and new insights for risk management and product development, sharpening our understanding of key perils and sustainability issues. The Group Sustainability Strategy provides an important focal point for these efforts.
