The 2010 Generali Group Sustainability Report, its seventh such report, confirms past choices, first and foremost the international
perspective: the geographical area covered, includes the main countries in which
the Group operates - Italy, Austria, France, Germany, Israel, the Czech Republic,
Spain and Switzerland.
The 2010 Sustainability Report area represents 67.9% of the Group workforce and 85.2% of its total gross direct premiums. The focus is on insurance and banking business, including service-related businesses.
Information is organized by key stakeholders, divided into the usual three categories:
direct stakeholders (employees and sales force, shareholders), competitive stakeholders (clients, contractual partners and issuing companies) and social-environmental stakeholders (community and environment);
Concerning updating, quantitative data refer to fiscal year 2010 while qualitative
data are updated up to the first months of 2011.
Compared to previous editions following changes have been introduced:
- the quantitative data in the Environment chapter refer exclusively to companies
included in the Environmental Management System of the Group so that significant
comparisons can be made against the Group’s targets for the System;
- the further streamlining of the sections containing less important information
or information that can be obtained from other sources within the Group, with
a view to expanding the sections that are more important to stakeholders;
- the addition of a new section in the Group chapter that details external recognition
of the Group’s commitment to various areas of sustainability.
Since 2010 the Sustainability Report and the Consolidated annual report are closer integrated. This year, for the first time, the latter contains a
set of key quantitative indicators in addition to the usual qualitative information
on sustainability principles, policies and governance. These indicators measure
the results obtained throughout the year in relation to the social and environmental
issues that are most important to the Company like the technical indicators for
the Group insurance activities.
