Talanx AG has been added to the FTSE4Good Index Series compiled by FTSE Russell, part of London Stock Exchange Group. Companies that demonstrate a strong commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices are included in the FTSE4Good Index Series. Talanx AG fulfils the criteria of the FTSE4Good Global Index and the FTSE4Good Europe Index.

"Inclusion in the index series is a testament to the considerable advances that we have made in our commitment to sustainability. I am therefore delighted that we are now listed in this highly regarded sustainability index", commented Herbert K. Haas, Chief Executive Officer of Talanx AG. "Our inclusion motivates us to keep moving forward along the path that we have already taken."

Talanx is continuously expanding its commitment to sustainability. With this in mind, the Talanx Group is putting in place ESG screening for its investments.
