Our Legacy
Munich Re Group has a long history of sustainability engagement. Since 1973, Munich Re Group has raised awareness for climate change through its analyses and research. Global warming, changing weather patterns, and natural catastrophes affect every market participant. Munich Re Group solutions ever since helped to effectively cope with the financial consequences of natural disasters. Addressing complex climate risks means being able to understand long term effects and drivers through collecting and managing large amounts of data and expertise to measure and evaluate these impacts. Since 2008, Munich Re Group has a holistic climate strategy in place, which continuously evolves. As our corporate responsibility, we have ambitious climate goals for all liabilities, assets and operations, confirmed by the Munich Re Group Ambition 2025.
“With our Munich Re Group Ambition 2025, we’ve created a strategy that is uniform across the Group – spanning reinsurance, primary insurance and asset management. We have committed ourselves to ambitious financial targets, and we will continue adding value for our shareholders, clients, staff and communities. The Munich Re Group Ambition 2025 will help us to elevate Munich Re to a new level of success.”
Joachim Wenning, Chairman of the Board of Management of Munich Re
