Well-being

In the Generali Group’s Code of Conduct is outlined the commitment to ensure a healthy, safe and secure workspace, and guarantees to its employees fair working conditions, ensuring a safe and healthy environment. Employees are requested to avoid any conduct that could endanger anyone’s health or safety, instead promoting actions that have a positive impact on the Group’s employees.

The responsibility related to the definition and implementation of health and safety management systems to prevent work-related accidents is demanded to the legal entities, in accordance with the respective local regulation. Furthermore, the importance of employee’s health and safety is also outlined as well in the European Social Charter.

In line with this commitment, the Group’s legal entities have launched several initiatives aimed at actively promoting the safety and well-being of their employees, going beyond the minimum requirements set by current local regulations.
More in detail, these initiatives are mainly aimed at: :

• supporting mental well-being, through services dedicated to the psychological well-being which include, for example, prevention activities focused on stress management;
• promoting the physical health of employees through initiatives such as periodical health check-ups and the equipment of health measures to further protect our people;
• developing a comfortable work environment through, for example, the integration in the offices of spaces that facilitate work activities or by providing ergonomic materials and tools;
• promoting physical activity, by including, for example, fitness rooms in our buildings or supporting the organisation of sport activities for our people;
• providing training activities on topics related to well-being, health, ergonomics, and safe driving, through courses, workshops, and meetings with experts.

For each of these initiatives, several specific actions^* were defined, involving all the types of employees during the 2024. In detail:

• the initiative aimed at supporting mental well-being was implemented through several dedicated actions; among these, services and tools aimed at both psychological support (through services such as online sessions with psychologists, workshops, specific platforms) and mental well-being (through services such as webinars, programs, or workshops) were made available to employees;
• the initiative related to the promotion of physical health was adopted through different actions that allowed employees to access specific health services for free, such as the possibility of free vaccination, specific medical visits, as well as medical consultation through online or call services. Additionally, some health measures, including for example defibrillators or air purifiers, have been provided to further safeguard our employees' health;
• the third initiative aims at developing a comfortable work environment. In this context, actions have been implemented to create spaces that facilitate both work activities and interaction among colleagues in the workplace, as well as dedicated areas to facilitate sharing and relaxation, such as break zones and areas equipped for meal consumption. In addition, have been provided to employees ergonomic tools and supports, including chairs, desks, footrests, dual monitor setups, or larger-sized monitors;
• the initiative aimed at promoting physical activity was carried-out through different actions including the provision of dedicated fitness areas within the company spaces, where it is possible to exercise both independently and by participating in specific courses (e.g., Yoga and Pilates to improve physical well-being and posture) as well as the possibility to benefit from discounts and agreements for gym memberships/sports events. In addition, employees’ participation in physical activities was promoted through the organisation of sports events (e.g., marathons);
• the initiative aimed at providing training activities on topics related to well-being, health, ergonomics, and safe driving, includes the provision of contents focusing on stress management, physical health, and the importance of sleep. Furthermore, it is possible to participate in safe driving courses (both online and practical ones), and training materials (such as videos and specific courses) on ergonomics-related topics are made available. In addition, health informative campaigns are available with the aim to raise employees’ awareness on topics such as oncological risks or the importance of healthy nutrition.

The initiatives have been adopted by the Group's legal entities in a differentiated manner, considering the local peculiarities and context specificities of the different regions where the Group operates. In particular, in Europe all the mentioned initiatives involved 72% of employees. In Asia Pacific & Middle East, initiatives related to supporting mental well-being, promoting the physical health, promoting physical activity, and training activities on well-being and health matters involved at least 43% of employees, while the initiative related to developing a comfortable work environment involved 29% of employees.
In North America and Latin America, initiatives related to supporting mental well-being, promoting the physical health, developing a comfortable work environment, and promoting physical activity involved 60% of employees.
