The virtual Annual General Meeting of Hannover Rück SE today approved all proposed resolutions by a large majority.

In his address Chief Executive Officer Jean-Jacques Henchoz reviewed the challenges of the past financial year and looked ahead to the most pressing issues facing Hannover Re in the future, including global warming, sustainability, digitalisation and demographic change. Furthermore, he described the strengths that are crucial to Hannover Re's sustained profitable growth: the robust corporate culture, partnership-based solutions for clients, capital strength and a focus on reinsurance.
