Corporate objectives
Profit and value creation are indispensable prerequisites for the company's sustainable development in the interests of Hannover Re's clients, shareholders, staff and business partners. The responsible underwriting of risks and diligent risk management are vital conditions for assuring the quality of business over the long term. Hannover Re consequently strives to be one of the most profitable reinsurers in the world and consistently enhances its position as one of the leading reinsurance groups. In so doing, the premise of achieving growth through self-generated profits and avoiding imbalances that could necessitate capital measures continues to apply unchanged. Hannover Re is thus guided primarily by profitability considerations and concentrates on attractive segments of reinsurance business. External standards are integrated into the corporate guidelines and shape daily actions. Hannover Re thus minimises business, liability and reputational risks that could have a detrimental effect on its commercial activities.
