Examples of corporate social responsibility in the operations of insurance companies

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to highlight the issue of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the insurance sector as insurance institutions form an important part of every developed financial market. Because the nature and scope of its activities, which are largely based on public confidence, the finance and insurance sector seems to be particularly well-suited for implementing the concept of social responsibility. Every company adopting a CSR policy implements it in a slightly different way. There fore the article presents only selected examples of insurers' activities, divided into three areas: activities for the benefit of employees, the community and the natural environment.
