Code of conduct

PRI Pensionsgaranti is a mutual non-life insurance company in the area of occupational pensions and is owned by the insured client companies. Together with the subsidiary PRI Pensions- och stiftelsetjänst AB, our services include credit insurance, pension services, foundation services and actuarial services.

By securing pensions with the book reserve pension method scheme, the company retains its pension capital and can invest in its own business or in a pension foundation. It is both a cost-effective way to secure pensions and a way to strengthen companies and their competitiveness. It contributes to security for the companies’ employees and retired employees, as well as sustainable growth for the companies.

As a well-consolidated, mutual company, we are able to act long-term in our customers’ best interests. This creates credibility and the basis for a good business relationship. We have both broad and deep expertise, are solution-oriented and constantly strive to improve and simplify for our customers. We have an active and committed approach, both internally and in our dealings with customers. This creates both customer and business benefits.

Through our independence, long-term vision, quality, and unique expertise, we are able to ensure the entire chain required for sustainable services. In doing so, we create value for both people and organisations.

Our sustainability work is long-term and has a clear focus on tomorrow. Good business ethics and environmental considerations are important to us.
