Our Public Affairs department is responsible for the Munich Re Group's lobbying of governments, national and supranational authorities, associations and other organisations. We are also active in industry organisations, including the German Insurance Association (GDV), the Geneva Association, the European Insurance Chief Financial Officers' (CFO) Forum, the Chief Risk Officers' (CRO) Forum, the Reinsurance Advisory Board (RAB) of Insurance Europe, as well as the Pan-European Insurance Forum (PEIF).

We therefore provide details to the Transparency Register of the European Parliament and the European Commission, the Lobby Register of the German Bundestag and the Bavarian Lobby Register on focal points, memberships and the effort and expense involved in our lobbying activities.
