Our Sustainability
Sustainability at GrECo
Sustainability is a core element of GrECo’s risk advisory and insurance consulting business model. As the leading risk and insurance adviser in Central and Eastern Europe, we take a long‑term perspective: managing today’s risks while preparing clients, people and organisations for tomorrow’s challenges.
Our sustainability strategy is built around four strategic pillars that define how we operate, advise clients, and create long‑term value.
The Four Strategic Pillars of Our Sustainability Strategy
Reducing our environmental footprint and operating responsibly
We focus on improving the environmental performance of our own operations while promoting climate-aware practices across the business, with particular emphasis on sustainable mobility and low-emission company vehicles, renewable electricity and energy efficiency in offices, and the responsible use of resources and waste reduction.
2025 highlights
- First systematic greenhouse gas assessment (Scope 1 & 2)
- Continued transition to low‑emission vehicle fleets (69% low‑emission vehicles Group‑wide, 96% electric fleet in Austria)
- Group‑wide collection of energy consumption data
Empowering people and contributing to resilient communities
Our resilience depends on skilled, engaged people and a strong social foundation. We therefore focus on employee wellbeing, health and flexible working models, while supporting learning, leadership development and talent management. We also promote diversity, equity and inclusion and contribute to society through social engagement via the GrECo Foundation.
2025 highlights
- Ongoing investment in professional and soft‑skills training (16.1 h professional training / employee and 5.39 h soft‑skills training / employee)
- Hybrid and flexible working models broadly established (96% have hybrid work and 70% flexible hours)
- International talent programme Empowering Excellence reached its first milestone (13 graduates (2024/25) and 12 new participants (2025/26))
- 13 social projects supported in 8 countries through the GrECo Foundation
Helping clients anticipate change and navigate emerging risks
We support clients in understanding and managing transformation-related risks through risk thought leadership, market insights and advisory solutions for climate, ESG, cyber and transformation risks, reflecting our transition from insurance broker to integrated risk adviser.
2025 highlights
- Expanded risk thought leadership formats with 32 HORIZON articles on digital transformation risks, hosting HORIZON Risk Days in Austria and Romania as well as introducing Risk & Insurance Navigator: strategic risk and insurance insights across 21 CESEE markets
- We expanded our services through GrECo Risk Engineering, CERTAINITY and Corporate Trust, covering ESG, climate, cyber and security‑related risks.
Acting with integrity, accountability and trust
Strong governance and ethical conduct are essential to long-term business success. We focus on clear governance structures and ethical standards, responsible handling of data and information, and transparent engagement with clients, insurers and partners.
2025 highlights
- Group‑wide application of business conduct principles: 96% workforce covered
- Structured approach to ESG‑elevated clients (revenue exposure 2%) and insurer ESG screening (60% of placed premium volume)
