Our goal is to become Germany's first sustainable insurance company.* We want to be an insurance company that is different: ecological, social, oriented toward the common good, cooperative, and transparent.
The majority of all investments come from the financial sector. With every form of investment, financial institutions like banks or insurance companies pass on our money – they invest it. This is how our money is used to finance companies and projects.
These investments have a real impact: It makes a crucial difference whether this money is invested in, for example, the energy transition or in deforestation. And so, today's investments determine tomorrow's future.
At the same time, the energy transition, climate protection, and mobility transition are costing a lot of money. We believe this is where the financial sector is needed—after all, this is where the majority of the money lies.
There are already excellent, credibly sustainable banks in Germany – what's missing is an ethical, ecologically and socially responsible insurance company.* And that's what we want to become with ver.de.
The ver.de cooperative:
As a member of the ver.de cooperative, you can help shape the future of ver.de, the development of the financial sector, and the impact of our investments – and thus help shape the financial industry of tomorrow.
*Only after full financing and approval by BaFin may ver.de call itself an insurance company.
