UN Global Compact – Our Communication on Progress (CoP)

Swiss Re is a signatory to the UN Global Compact and its ten principles:

"Corporate sustainability starts with a company’s value system and a principles-based approach to doing business. This means operating in ways that, at a minimum, meet fundamental responsibilities in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. Responsible businesses enact the same values and principles wherever they have a presence, and know that good practices in one area do not offset harm in another. By incorporating the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact into strategies, policies and procedures, and establishing a culture of integrity, companies are not only upholding their basic responsibilities to people and planet, but also setting the stage for long-term success."

Our Communication on Progress (CoP) for 2019 is fully integrated into our 2019 Sustainability Report. Below you can find references to the relevant sections for each of the Compact's ten principles.
