Our aspiration – and our promise to our customers

The customers and their needs are our focus. For them it is important to be able to create their world. We manage the risks.

We want to design insurance for our customers as simple, fast and convenient as possible. We therefore seamlessly link our competent advice with modern mobile and online services, thus allowing our customers to decide flexibly how and where to contact us.

The essence of our ERGO brand – “Making insurance easier” – is the compass for our actions. As an active companion at every stage in life, as an equal partner, and as a positive driving force for the future. Simple because it matters.
