How we contribute

With the rapid spread of the pandemic, the Generali Group intervened immediately launching an extraordinary international fund of € 100* million to support customers, the distribution network and the communities.
Of these, € 55* million went to support the community in response to the emergency and for bringing relief to the socio-economic context and national health systems.

To the international fund, the Group’s companies contributed to support communities with € 68* million of extraordinary funds in response to the COVID-19 emergency and € 12 million in ordinary investments voluntarily allocated every year to non-profit organizations, or organizations pursuing social goals. In line with previous years, of the 12 million earmarked for various community initiatives; approximately € 7.5 million were allocated to support The Huma Safety (THSN) programs in the 22 countries where the project is active.
