The Sustainability in 2019–2021 Strategic Plan

Constructing a strategy aimed at sustainability means that the Unipol Group focuses its commitment on innovation, with the main goal of improving the quality of life of our customers by offering solutions for the protection, support and realisation of their projects, and partnering businesses, public institutions and territorial communities to support development and promote wellbeing.

The 2019 – 2021 Strategic Plan

The 2019 – 2021 Strategic Plan “Mission Evolve” responds to these requirements, identifying one of the strategic guidelines in the “Shared value and sustainable development”, with the aim of creating shared value through business strategies that make a real contribution towards the sustainable development of people, businesses and territories, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN 2030 Agenda.

There are two main areas of work in this sense:

  1. the definition of distinctive solutions that can have a positive social impact in order to help prevent and reduce risks to customers (such as risks connected to climate change) and to fill any gaps in the protection of underinsured categories (as can happen due to limits in public health spending) while increasing Group profitability.
  2. the strengthening of an internal culture that incorporates management of the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) factors and contributes towards the sustainable development of the Group vision, strategies and processes (from governance to network management, empowerment of staff and the use of data and technology).

Unipol is thereby committed to significantly contributing to the achievement of its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the realisation of its strategies with a specific impact on SDG nos. 3, 8 and 11.
