Energy
The largest part of the energy we use is electricity, which is needed for lighting, air conditioning and the power supply of computer and communication devices.
In particular, the servers of our Data Processing Centres (DPCs), the largest of which is located in Italy in Mogliano Veneto serving the entire Group, have a high electricity demand, fed by a trigeneration plant powered by natural gas, which allows the joint production of electricity, heat and refrigeration.
We mainly use natural gas and district heating to heat our workplaces.
The Group strategy to reduce the environmental impact of our energy requirements involves:
- the reduction of consumption through measures to modernize our premises, aimed at improving insulation with building envelopes and high-performance windows and doors, and through the use of high-energy efficiency lighting and air conditioning technologies such as, for example, presence detectors, timers for switching systems on/off and the use of LED lamps.
- the use of energy from renewable sources.

Reduce energy consumption |
|
| Purchase 100% of electricity from renewable sources, where available | 100% (+20.9 p.p. vs 2019)* |
*Note: 270 GJ of non-renewable electricity is still purchased in remote locations where a renewable option is non-available, equal to 0.09% of the total electricity consumption. The energy data were recalculated in line with changes of the EMS perimeter and represent the staff working at the following locations/Organizational Units: Argentina, Austria, Banca Generali, Bulgaria, Chile, Croatia, Czech Republic, Europ Assistance, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. This perimeter covers the 79.9% of our people.

Paper
Paper is one of the main natural resources used in our industry. Widespread measures to reduce paper consumption include the electronic storage and the digitalisation of documents, the installation of centralised printers for offices or floors in place of individual printers, and the digitalisation of the insurance product sales process using tablets and graphometric signatures.
We favour the purchase of paper with environmental certification according to sustainability standards such as Ecolabel, FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), PEFC (Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes), Nordic Swan and Blue Angel.
Performance in 2025
3,084 ton of paper consumption
-63.0% compared to 2019
43.1 kg per capita
87.1% paper with environmental certification
Water
We use water mainly for sanitation purposes and in air conditioning systems. Almost all the water withdrawal comes from public aqueducts.
To reduce water waste to a minimum, the taps in our sites mix water and air and, in many cases, they are also equipped with photocells or timed controls.
Performance in 2025
Quantity of withdrawn water
379,525 m3 water withdrawal

Waste
We are investing in the reduction of single-use materials to prevent waste production and we are committed to recovering them through circular economy supply chains.
Paper and cardboard account for the majority of the waste we send for recovery through recycling.
We pay particular attention to the proper disposal of harmful waste or waste that damages the environment. This mainly consists of electronic devices, returned to their suppliers or specialized operators, and used toners, which are also returned to suppliers to be recycled or regenerated.
Hazardous waste, such as neon lamps, batteries and sanitary waste from our company infirmaries, accounts for only a minimal percentage of our waste and is disposed of separately in an appropriate manner, using specialized companies and taking care to maintain records and mandatory documentation, in accordance with relevant regulations in each country.
Performance in 2025

Mobility
An important part of the Group's environmental footprint is made up of employee business trips. We are implementing strategies for the sustainable management of company cars and business travel, seeking to reduce the related greenhouse gas emissions.
We are progressively electrifying our company cars fleet, and we are cutting down business travel by promoting the use of video conferencing and promoting smart and remote working. In most countries there are also remote inspection systems in claims management, which reduce the number of car journeys by assessors.
The travel policy favours the use of public transport over private cars and, among public transport, promotes those with less impact on the environment, such as trains instead of planes. Our car policy sets rules on what type of vehicle can be chosen, including full hybrid, plug-in hybrid and full electric cars only.
