Information Policy

As a global company, Swiss Re strives to inform its stakeholders openly, consistently and in a transparent manner – beyond the minimum legal information requirements.

Swiss Re maintains open lines of communication with stakeholders on matters related to its financial and business performance, strategy and business activities through analyst and media conferences and calls, road shows, news releases and corporate reports. The latter encompass the company’s Annual Report, the Half-Year Report and the Sustainability Report, which are made available both in print and digitally. Additionally, Swiss Re publishes the Financial Condition Report, solvency reports for the regulated entities and key quarterly financial information online.

On the Group’s website (www.swissre.com/newsreleases), visitors can find a host of news and research, publications, video and podcasts as well as discussion and analysis related to Swiss Re and the broader re/insurance industry. The financial calendar displayed below is also available online, and includes, amongst other things access details for analyst conference calls as well as on-demand video recordings of annual and half-year results’ events and Q1/Q3 key financial figures.

At www.swissre.com/media/contacts, interested parties – internal or external – can subscribe to the Media Relations mailing list to receive ad hoc disclosures and relevant corporate news via email. Contact details are provided in Contacts.

The Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce (Schweizerisches Handelsamtsblatt) is Swiss Re’s official medium for prescribed announcements and official information.

The Chairman conducts an annual corporate governance roadshow to visit and engage in an ongoing dialogue with Swiss Re’s largest shareholders. Throughout the year, our Investor Relations team, often joined by our Executive Management, holds regular meetings with institutional investors and analysts, including roadshows, conferences and calls.
