Munich Re Foundation "2005 report"

The year in review

Munich Re set up the Munich Re Foundation in April 2005 to commemorate its 125th anniversary.

The focal point of the foundation's work is people at risk. The issues set out in our Articles of Association – water, climate change, disaster prevention and population growth – are directly derived from our benefactor's knowledge and our own expertise.

In the "2005 report" you can find out about the foundation's work and the projects it supported during its first year in countries such as Mozambique and Eritrea. In addition, there are résumés of national and international events organised by the foundation on the topics of water, microinsurance and disaster awareness.

The report also features articles on the foundation's strategy and investment policy. To complete the picture, there are interviews with well-known experts.
