Corporate Governance
The PZU Group's strategic ambitions until 2024 were based on predictions of both global and local social and economic changes. The most important of them are the new trends after the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and changing demographics.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, digitization and the use of advanced technologies have greatly accelerated and new trends have emerged that will shape client preferences and needs in the future. The PZU Group sees these changes as an opportunity to grow faster and strengthen its competitive edge. As data analysis tools, machine learning, artificial intelligence, chatbots, virtual assistants, data mining are developed and the possibilities of integrating sales channels (omnichannel approach) emerge, the PZU Group will be able to strengthen its relationships with clients by offering personalized products in the most accessible way possible.
Climate and environmental issues are also becoming increasingly important in business operations. Climate change, on the one hand, will intensify chance events, namely the occurrence or absence of catastrophic events, such as floods, droughts, heat waves, torrential rains, hail, cyclones or whirlwinds. This will have a direct impact on the amount of claims paid out by PZU, the cost of reinsurance protection, or the level of capital requirements. On the other hand, growing climate awareness opens up opportunities for the PZU Group to develop its product offering in new areas of the insurance and investment business.
The trends related to demographic changes are also important. As the population continues to decline, coupled with the simultaneous aging of the population, the demand for health care and long-term care to senior citizens increases. The PZU Group wants to respond to these challenges by introducing products and services that will genuinely enhance the well-being of people aged 60+.
The key trends of the future are listed below, along with their potential impact on the PZU Group.
