Focus on a key figure

Turning steps into trees

Helping

Corona aid for the needy

Responsible business practices

In our business, the environment we work in is becoming ever more complex and new risks are arising all the time. Digitalisation and the impact of climate change present particular challenges, but also open up new business opportunities.

Employees

Active promotion of our employees, creating scope for getting the work-life balance right and protecting their health enables us to empower diversity within our Company. This potential forms a valuable platform for our success.

Environment

For many years now, ERGO and its Group companies have considered protecting the environment an integral element of their corporate social responsibility. With our Group-wide environmental management system, we are constantly working to avoid or reduce emissions from our business operations. Our community engagement also focuses on managing the effects of climate change.

Commitment

As a company acutely aware of its social responsibility, we want to make tangible contributions to resolving problems in society. We do this by helping people on the ground in a number of countries, working with a wide range of issues.

Reporting and figures

We report regularly and in detail about our advances and measures relating to sustainability. We give a clear and transparent account of our corporate responsibility performance in detailed, easy-to-understand key financial, environmental and HR figures, which also serve as a basis for systematic planning of new courses of action in these fields.

Respecting and protecting human rights

ERGO is expressly committed to respecting and upholding human rights in accordance with international standards. We take our corresponding due diligence obligations seriously and have established processes to identify possible risks of human rights being impaired and to manage them with appropriate measures.

Tackling climate change together

Together with Munich Re, we support initiatives to promote adaptation to climate change and foster innovative solutions. Find out about our projects.

EU Disclosure Regulation

Transparency about aspects of the sustainability of our products and the underlying investment decision-making processes – also in the context of investment and insurance consulting – is of particular concern to us. In accordance with EU Disclosure Regulation, we have therefore summarised all the necessary information for our clients.
