Our strategy in practice

Our strategy encompasses ten strategic principles for ensuring the realisation of our vision “Long-term success in a competitive business” across business units. We implement the strategy in accordance with our holistic management system Performance Excellence 2.0. This forward-looking management system is based on the Excellence Model of the EFQM (European Foundation for Quality Management) and has a clear strategic focus: each organisational unit of the Hannover Re Group defines its own contribution to the Group strategy with the aid of the internal Strategy Guide and our Strategy Cockpit tool. In this way, we ensure that all initiatives and activities within Hannover Re are rigorously linked to the corporate strategy.
