In addition, the Group’s commitment to implementing policies geared towards corporate social responsibility in the management of its activities was also increasingly recognised by the financial community: in the last year, the amount of share capital held by investors who adopt ethical investment criteria increased, and the ratings assigned to Assicurazioni Generali by agencies specialised in socio-environmental and governance analysis (ESG) were confirmed or upgraded, with the subsequent inclusion in new ethical stock market indices, including excellence indices.
