Corporate Governance at Zurich
Effective governance allows us to stay ahead of change, while remaining true to our core business values.
We are committed to effective corporate governance for the benefit of our shareholders, customers, employees and other stakeholders based on the principles of fairness, transparency and accountability. Structures, rules and processes are designed to enable proper conduct of business by defining the powers and responsibilities of corporate bodies and employees.
Our structures provide for checks and balances and institutional separation between the Board and the Group Chief Executive Officer (Group CEO) as well as the Executive Committee (ExCo), which together are responsible for managing the Group on a day-to-day basis.
