Board of Directors

The Board of Directors consists of 12 members. 

A diverse Board composition is indispensable for the successful and efficient fulfilment of its responsibilities. Diversity considerations with regards to, among others, gender, age, nationality, race, ethnicity and regional representation are a priority for Swiss Re’s Board composition.

The Bylaws require that at least three-quarters of Board members be independent. Swiss Re defines independence in line with legal requirements and best practice corporate governance standards. On that basis, the Board assesses its members’ independence on an annual basis.

The Board of Directors has allocated tasks to the Chair of the Board of Directors, the Vice Chair of the Board of Directors and the Lead Independent Director (LID).
