At Munich Re, responsible management has top priority, not least with a view to operating profitably. Our asset management therefore follows the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). We helped to draw up these principles and we were the first German company to sign them.

A holistic investment strategy aligned with ESG (environmental, social, governance) criteria also has a beneficial effect on risk and return. That is why, on 27 April 2006, we were one of the first signatories to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), which we played a prominent role in drafting. Behind these principles is the view that investment decisions often take insufficient account of the need for sustainable development and thus the needs of future generations.

In 2012, MR signed the Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI), which we were also actively involved in creating. As a signatory, we actively campaign to have environmental, social and governance aspects (ESG) accounted intensely in the insurance business. For us, the PSI serves as a framework for (ESG) aspects more strongly in our core business. By taking these aspects into account along the whole value chain of our business, we expand our risk management by a further dimension. Munich Re (Group) is currently member of the PSI Board.

Over 200 financial institutions, including banks, insurers and fund managers, work for the global partnership to understand the impacts of environmental and social considerations on financial performance. Munich Re joined the organisation in 1999 and supports financial climate-change topics that need to be addressed.

Global Compact as our guideline: Since 2007, Munich Re Group has been committed to the ten principles of the United Nations' Global Compact. These represent a worldwide standard and help us to continue to improve our corporate responsibility. The annual Communication on Progress (COP) is integrated in our Corporate Responsibility portal.

Group-wide Code of Conduct: The central guideline for our actions is our Code of Conduct, which describes our understanding of values and has also been implemented by our subsidiaries. It specifies rules that are binding for all Munich Re staff and is regularly reviewed and expanded as needed. In 2013, for example, we anchored the understanding of values conveyed in the Global Compact by expressly referring to the ten principles in the introduction to our Code of Conduct,  In 2018 the Code of Conduct was updated and the reference to the UN Global Compact enforced. The CoC applies to all employees who make or can influence business decisions or who have access to confidential information.

 
          VfU

Your organisation’s role in the initiative during the reporting year (see definitions)

Provide a brief commentary on the level of your organisation’s involvement in the initiative. [Optional]

The VfU is a network of financial service providers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Since 1995, the Association and its members have been working on developing and realising innovative and sustainable solutions for financial services providers, with the goal of helping the financial economy make a contribution to a sustainable development. As a representative of interests for sustainability issues in the German-language financial sector, the VfU participates in the political dialogue on a sustainable economy in various forums.

As a think tank, the VfU occupies itself with the integration of sustainability aspects into business and management processes and financial services.

The VfU has taken over the function of the CFI (Climate Change, Financial Markets & Innovation/Finance Forum Climate Change) project that was supported by the BMBF until March 2013, and which was founded within the framework of the "High-tech strategy for climate protection" of the German government. Ernst Rauch (Global Head Climate & Public Sector Business Development Chief Climate and Geo Scientist) is member of the board and chairman of the VfU Finance Forum Climate Change.
