Corporate Governance
Conglomerat
The PZU Group is a conglomerate comprised of insurance, financial and health care companies. It is headed by PZU, which, as a parent company, acts as a competence center setting standards of operation for the other entities. Among others, it defines the guidelines for capital safety, risk management or internal control systems, building common solutions on them. Of particular importance for the insurance segment is the cooperation between PZU and PZU Życie, which operate with shared structures, especially in terms of strategic management and risk, as well as operational support.
Insurance is the core business of the PZU Group. The business model utilizes effective sales channels and efficient claims handling functions in their midst. The PZU Group offers insurance in Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine (life and non-life insurance), as well as in Latvia and Estonia (non-life insurance). In Poland the PZU Group has a comprehensive product offer of life and non-life insurance for 16 million clients. They are retail clients, sole proprietors, small and medium enterprises and large corporates. The insurance offer is supplemented by comprehensive medical and investment services.
The core PZU Group companies include:
Operating model and value
Insurance is the PZU Group’s core business. It is the basis for comprehensive product offerings focused on broadly defined safety. This is why the non-insurance activity should be analyzed primarily as an element supporting sales of the basic insurance offer. Banking operations play a unique role in the PZU Group’s value chain. The parent entity in the PZU Group, i.e. PZU, holds shares allowing it to exercise control over two banks, Alior Bank and Bank Pekao. From the business perspective, this ensures effective cooperation in mutually supporting sales of insurance and banking products. From the shareholders’ perspective, the banks contribute to the net profit, which may be distributed as dividends in accordance with the PZU Group’s capital and dividend policy.
