Companies with an inclusive culture and a higher degree of diversity across all levels are better at making business decisions. Such an environment also makes for better employees because it creates a workplace for everyone to succeed, learn and grow.

For PartnerRe, that means consciously hiring and advancing people from all kinds of backgrounds, with a diverse range of identities, at every level of the organization. We have the systems in place and a culture of inclusion where every employee feels welcomed and respected to perform at their best.

Over the next few years, we are determined to build on our momentum in increasing diversity and inclusion at PartnerRe through the following commitment:

1. We will work towards increased representation of all employee groups in executive and senior management roles and people management roles.
2. We will make sure all employees regardless of ethnicity, background, religion, sexual orientation, nationality and gender have an equal opportunity to grow and progress at PartnerRe.
3. We will promote a culture of inclusivity where employees can share their thoughts openly and have the conversations that are needed to make PartnerRe a place where employees can be themselves and where all ideas and experiences are encouraged and welcomed. Employees are expected to invest time in acquiring and developing knowledge either through corporate-led initiatives or self-paced training every year.
4. We will hold ourselves accountable by developing clear objectives and measuring our progress.
