Munich Reinsurance America, Inc. - Corporate Responsibility - Environment
We consider it our ecological responsibility to protect the environment for future generations, which is why we are actively committed to the preservation of our natural resources. This is also for entrepreneurial reasons: our core business is inextricably linked with ecological aspects.
Setting Environmental Goals and Operational
Standards
Our central objective is to minimize environmental pollution
created by our business operations. We are therefore reducing our
consumption of paper, water and energy and cutting our travel,
waste and energy emissions. In doing so, we apply the highest
technical standards wherever economically feasible.
We help to protect our natural environment, in particular by:
- Considering the consequences of climate and environmental change in our product policy and thus helping to increase awareness and influence behavior;
- Employing tools within our core business to encourage preventive measures designed to avert harmful environmental impacts;
- Identifying ways to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels for energy and promote increased awareness of the use of natural resources in our business operations.
Responsible Processing
The insurance products offered by our affiliated companies in the
U.S. are responsible in content as well as execution.
