PZU’s mission is to provide our clients with peace of mind and sense of security. This would never be possible without their trust. It is the foundation of relations, because the client buys a promise of PZU’s assistance in difficult situations. But PZU’s activity affects not only its clients. Its employees, shareholders, suppliers, and the local communities covered by its operations are equally important. They should all know that they can rely on PZU.

PZU is doing everything in its power to have ethical conduct reflected in all activities of Group’s employees. PZU wants to create a corporate culture based on fairness, honesty, and respect. The benchmarks for all ethical matters are the formal documents (Good Practices in PZU) and the adopted three main values:

• we are fair – our rules are clear and our offer is transparent and satisfies the real expectations of the clients;
• we are innovative – we keep searching for the ways to improve and continually adapt to the changing needs of the clients;
• we are effective – we control the costs, ensure that the processes are smooth, and offer friendly customer service and competitive prices to our clients.

These values compose the common operating philosophy and serve as the foundation of PZU Group’s 2020 strategy. The good practices have been adopted and applied by most of Group’s companies, including all insurance companies (PZU, PZU Życie, LINK4, Lietuvos Draudimas, PZU Lithuania Life, ASS Balta, PZU Estonia, PZU Ukraine, PZU Ukraine Life).
