Letter from the Chairwoman of the Managing Board

Companies cannot influence the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. In accordance with our management responsibilities, we have reviewed the initiatives in the "VIG 25" strategic programme and weighted them accordingly in order to counter identifiable developments at an early stage.
Yours sincerely,
