The paper quality of business stationery and brochures is also crucial to Hannover Re Group's Corporate Design. Our printed materials meet with a favourable reaction not only upon first glance but also the first time they are touched.

FSC certificate
We use FSC-certified paper types and endeavour to minimise our carbon footprint when printing high-paper-content items such as our annual report. The imprint on these printed materials features the FSC seal. If the seal does not fit on the inside back cover, it may also be placed on the outside back cover.
