In its sustainability work, the VHV Group is guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In doing so, we concentrate on those goals to which we as an insurance group can contribute through our sustainability strategy:
SDG 4 – Quality education

We support the professional and personal development of our employees through training and further education opportunities, dual study programs, and internal and external training measures. In addition, we promote exchange with educational and research institutions and are involved in selected educational initiatives.
SDG 5 – Gender equality
Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
We promote equal opportunities and diversity in the company through transparent personnel processes, measures for the development of managers, in particular to increase the proportion of women at management levels, and offers to improve the work-life balance. In addition, we are committed to a respectful and non-discriminatory working environment.
SDG 8 – Decent work and economic growth
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.
We support fair working conditions through dialogue with employee representatives, regulations on occupational health and safety, and offers to promote the well-being of our employees. We also take human rights and social requirements into account in relevant business and procurement processes.
SDG 12 – Sustainable consumption and production patterns
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
In our business operations, we promote the responsible use of resources, for example through digital work and communication processes, the reduction of paper consumption, and the use of environmental criteria in selected procurement and supplier processes.
SDG 13 – Climate action
Take immediate action to combat climate change and its impacts.
Climate protection aspects are taken into account in relevant areas of our business operations. Examples of this are measures to increase energy efficiency, the consideration of climate-related criteria in capital investments and the application of defined requirements within the underwriting and business policy.
