Appendix

The following table contains an overview of GRI references. The placement of the GRI labels should be seen as a navigation aid. GRI labels are placed within the report as soon as information is provided on the corresponding key metrics or on management approaches – irrespective of whether the information provided is complete from the view of GRI reporting. Additional information has to be provided in particular in relation to reporting on material topics.

Since this report goes further than a mere presentation of SIA as an organisation, there are also gaps in the General Standard Disclosures (e.g. organisation and governance bodies, number of employees, number of members, main areas of activity, etc.). Further information on the Swiss Insurance Association and the insurance industry as a whole is available on the website at www.svv.ch.

A determination of the material issues in terms of the greatest impact of the SIA or the Swiss insurance industry on the environment, society and the economy has not yet been defined, and a comprehensive situation analysis is not available. The issues that have been identified as material, i.e. reportable, include:

  • Investment
  • Retirement provision
  • The working world
  • Operational ecology
  • Impact of climate change

Other issues at the same level (e.g. risk management and collaboration in sustainable development) should be considered as more of an approach. As a result, no GRI disclosures have been made on these issues in the report.
