As an insurer, we are aware of our corporate and social responsibility. In addition to ecological aspects, we also focus on sustainable corporate processes and decisions as well as the human factor. Therefore, we rely on an appreciative and diverse corporate culture, the optimisation of internal processes and social commitment. In this way, we work together with you, our customers and partners, to create a sustainable future.
We - the Delvag Group - with the companies Delvag Versicherungs-AG, Albatros Versicherungsdienste GmbH and Albatros Financial Solutions GmbH, are committed to the Paris Climate Agreement.
Delvag releases first sustainability report based on VSME standard
Our Position on the Paris Climate Agreement
We, the Delvag Group—comprising Delvag Versicherungs-AG, Albatros Versicherungsdienste GmbH, and Albatros Financial Solutions GmbH—are committed to the Paris Climate Agreement. We view climate change as one of the greatest challenges of our time. That is why we want each of our companies to contribute to more sustainable development. With this objective in mind, we have developed the Delvag Group’s sustainability strategy. It forms an essential part of our corporate strategy and is continuously reviewed. Among other things, our focus is on reporting our greenhouse gas emissions. We now track our Scope 1 and 2 emissions, as well as three categories of Scope 3 emissions. In the future, we plan to include additional relevant Scope 3 categories in our reporting. Furthermore, as the Delvag Group, we are working to reduce CO₂ emissions associated with business travel and our employees’ mobility. Since 2019, we have been supporting high-quality climate protection projects through myclimate in an amount equivalent to the estimated CO₂ emissions from our business travel flights.
In addition, we encourage our colleagues to use climate-friendly modes of transportation on a regular basis through offerings such as bicycle leasing and a subsidy for the Deutschlandticket. Sustainability criteria were taken into account during the 2019 renovation of One Cologne, our headquarters located in downtown Cologne and thus easily accessible by public transportation. The building is LEED-certified. Among other things, reducing light pollution and optimizing energy efficiency played an important role in the renovation. We view our investments as a major lever in our journey toward sustainable development. Delvag Versicherungs-AG therefore focuses its investments on issuers that meet our own sustainability standards with regard to ethical, social, and environmental aspects. To this end, we rely on the support of an external asset manager that adheres to our defined sustainability criteria.
Together with the Delvag Group’s Green Team, a cross-functional project team dedicated to identifying and implementing sustainability initiatives within the company and in collaboration with our business partners, we continuously explore further opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint.
For Delvag, sustainability is not just a requirement. Although we are not subject to any legal reporting obligations, we have published a sustainability report in accordance with the VSME standard. In doing so, we are making our ambitions and actions transparent. At the same time, we are establishing a clear foundation for the consistent further development of our work. Our guiding principle is: Take responsibility before regulations require it.
Tobias Winkler | Member of the Executive Board
In times of climate change, environmental protection is one of the greatest challenges. Especially as a subsidiary of an aviation group, we are aware of our special responsibility and are gradually trying to reduce our ecological footprint.
We want to make a valuable contribution to society and are therefore socially committed. For many years, we have maintained partnerships with various local social organisations. We promote voluntary work, personal development and the health of our employees with a wide range of internal and external activities.
Responsibility begins with responsible corporate decisions. We are aware of this and therefore take sustainability criteria into account, among other areas, in our financial investments and in the selection of our business partners.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals on the radar
The orientation of our sustainability strategy is based on the United Nations' "Sustainable Development Goals" and formulated in line with the Lufthansa Group's sustainability management. In particular, we focus on eight selected fields of action:
 |
3 | GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING To ensure that our employees feel good and healthy, we attach great importance to a working environment where this is guaranteed - today and in the future. Our focus is on an open corporate culture and a comprehensive health management system. |
 |
4 | QUALITY EDUCATION With access to numerous training opportunities (Future Fit program), we support our employees in their personal development. In addition, we exchange ideas with other market players and networks to learn from each other. |
 |
5 | GENDER EQUALITY Gender equality is very important to us. The focus is on eliminating stereotypes in everyday working life, building new networks and providing opportunities for further training. We support the reconciliation of family and professional life by making our working environment flexible. We see the fulfilment of this goal as a great opportunity, as the promotion of women, especially in management positions, brings new perspectives and competencies to our company. |
 |
9 | INDUSTRY, INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE We are constantly refining our processes and services and using digital solutions to make them efficient and resilient. Together with our business partners and suppliers, we develop innovative solutions and strengthen reliable structures throughout our value chain. |
 |
12 | RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION Avoiding waste and developing circular solutions for all products and services is at the heart of this sustainability goal. To achieve this, efficiency improvements are just as necessary as a fully transparent use of resources within our company and throughout our supply chain. In practice, we are focusing on the optimisation of our internal processes and the strategic further development and realignment of our business model. |
 |
13 | CLIMATE ACTION We are adapting to changing climate conditions by focusing on ambitious greenhouse gas reductions in our day-to-day office life, our internal capacity building, and informing our external stakeholders about how we are achieving our climate goals. |
 |
16 | PEACE, JUSTICE AND STRONG INSTITUTIONS Our companies operate in a highly regulated environment. Clear lines of responsibility, binding compliance rules, and effective risk and control management form the foundation of our corporate governance. This enables us to ensure transparency, prevent misconduct, and protect the interests of our customers, employees, and business partners. |
 |
17 | PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS Partnerships are essential for the successful implementation of our sustainability goals. To achieve this, we work closely with other economic and social stakeholders. |
