On 31 July 2009 the Parent Company Board of Directors approved the document “Environmental Policy of the Generali Group”.

The definition and formalization of the Environmental Policy is part of the international project launched in early 2009 aimed at introducing the Group Environmental System Management (EMS) and confirms the Group commitment to safeguarding the environment already stated in the Code of Ethics.

The document contains the guiding principles followed by the Group in managing all significant environmental aspects of business operations to ensure compatibility between economic initiative and environmental requirements. In particular, the Environmental Policy sets out objectives and commitments that guide the decisions and actions of the Group in order to contribute positively to sustainable development.
The objectives relate to both the environmental impacts directly attributable to the insurance and financial activities of the Group and the indirect impacts associated with the procurement of goods and service, with the planning and supplying of insurance and financial products and with institutional investment operations.

As also required by UNI EN ISO 14001, the Environmental Policy is communicated to all employees of the Group and made available to the public in various ways. In addition, to implement and maintain active the Policy, is being defined the program of continuous environmental improvement and are provided periodical reviews of the document.
