That was the consensus at the Global Management Forum 2019. In response, the Executive Board launched a project to define the self-image and values of Hannover Re. Some 560 employees from all areas and 13 locations of the Hannover Re Group contributed their views and experiences. Jean-Jacques Henchoz, Chief Executive Officer of Hannover Re, and Roland Vogel, Chief Financial Officer, backed the project in the role of sponsors. We asked them why it is important for a company to be aware of its own self-image – and what value-added its actions create for customers and society. Roland Vogel and Jean-Jacques Henchoz Hannover Re | Annual Report 2019 3 By defining our company’s purpose we have accomplished something very significant: we have identified the factors in our past success and embraced them on our path into the future. Jean-Jacques Henchoz Vogel: Looked at from the perspective of my thirty-year career with Hannover Re, I can state with confidence: our actions have always been driven by the self-image of an entrepreneur – and that will remain so going forward. By defining our self-image and codifying our values, we have put a good basis in place. Henchoz: By defining our company’s purpose we have ac- complished something very significant: we have identified the factors in our past success and embraced them on our path into the future. How do you experience Hannover Re’s self-image in concrete terms? Could you cite an example by way of illustration? Vogel: There was one situation that left a really deep impres- sion on me: our response to the September 11 attacks of Why did Hannover Re engage with its self-image and 2001. At the time we were searching for innovative solutions its core values in 2019? to improve our capital position. We had drawn some of our inspiration from ideas outside our own industry. So we Henchoz: We can look back on a history of success: for ten assembled a team, created the first securitisation of reinsur- years we have clearly outperformed the market average.
