MANAGEMENT REPORT
AND PARENT COMPANY
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Proposal 2022
2022 was the first year of Generali’s Lifetime Partner 24: Driving Growth strategic plan for sustainable growth.
The report on the efforts and the results tells a tale of financial solidity and profitability, technological innovation and a connection with clients. It also tells a tale of sustainability that dovetails with our role as insurers and investors, as well as our position as employers and ‘corporate citizens’. Last but not least, it sets out how an entity with a global imprint operated within a sector of huge significance to civil welfare and individual wellbeing, managing uncertainty and future risks with a professional guiding hand.
The images that accompany this story are snapshots of adults and children going about their daily lives as they work, study and relax, and of an environment of blue skies and trees. Alongside these are images of smart and eco-friendly cities, representing Generali’s ambition to be a Lifetime Partner to its clients and a point of reference for the communities in which it is active.
Please note that the Report is translated into English solely for the convenience of international readers.
