Hannover Re wins award for innovation

Hannover, 9 October 2014: At this year's Insurance Conference Munich
(inscom) Hannover Re was the recipient of the
"I3 Award" in the category of Design Innovation for the "Energie Einspar
Protect" (EEP), an energy savings product developed jointly with b2b
Protect GmbH.

The prize is awarded in recognition of business models, services and
products designed by companies that have the potential to deliver fresh
impetus to the insurance sector and further advance the industry's
development.

The EEP policy enables providers of energy-saving measures to offer their
customers a warranty for the efficiency of their solution. If the measure
fails to deliver the promised savings, the customer receives a compensatory
payment from the insurer. This product opens up new potential to generate
premium while at the same time making an active contribution to climate
protection.

"We see this award as affirmation of our continued efforts to develop new
risk solutions going forward and thereby position ourselves as an
innovative partner for our clients", Chief Executive Officer Ulrich Wallin
stated.
