The business unit DACH is reorganized as part of the new Insurance Division and it is split into three Country business units: Germany, Austria, Switzerland.
The following information and numbers refer to the 2023 Group Annual Integrated Report - Data at 31.12.2023.
Generali's business unit "Germany, Austria and Switzerland" (DACH) was the second largest business unit within the Generali Group and one of the leading primary insurance groups in the DACH region.
The joint setup in one organization combined the individual strong competencies into one force to create more value in total. The aim was to accelerate value creation through synergies in revenue, costs and innovation, exploit market potential and thus further increase profitable and sustainable growth.
