The Talanx Group’s sustainability reporting is based on a number of different national and international standards and guidelines. The Talanx Group also takes other guidelines above and beyond the mandatory standards and principles into account, firstly so as to have a binding framework for the sustainability goals it has set itself and secondly so as to ensure transparent, comparable reporting.
