Conserving natural resources
Our commitment to protect the natural environment plays a key part in our corporate responsibility strategy. After all, the financial success of a company like Munich Re is inseparably linked with protecting people, the environment, and property.
Taking preventive measures, increasing public awareness and promoting eco-friendly technologies are the three main pillars of Munich Re’s ecological commitment. We also give special priority to the protection of natural resources at our own office sites through our environmental management. This forms the basis of climate-protection measures designed to ensure that all our business processes are » carbon neutral by 2015.
We take a systematic approach to environmental protection. Environmental management systems are already in place at several of our office sites and are scheduled to be established at others. » more
