Examples of Baloise products that help our customers make environmentally aware decisions include our electric car insurance, our e-bike and bike insurance, and our “BaloiseCombi Building” building insurance. With the “Building” safety module, Baloise provides a modernisation budget in cases involving a total loss that is covered by the policy corresponding to 10% of the value of the building (up to a maximum of CHF 50,000) for value-increasing investments. Examples of such investments include:

• Structural measures based on the latest Swiss Minergie sustainable building standard

• Use of environmentally friendly and healthy construction materials

• Heating systems based on renewable energy sources (e.g. photovoltaic installations, geothermal probe)

• Measures for a more comfortable home (e.g. more modern kitchen, senior-friendly living)

Climate change is making our climate increasingly difficult to predict. This is a risk that we want to protect our customers from. Baloise’s household insurance covers natural hazards such as high water, storm and hail, as well as destruction, damage or loss due to earthquakes.

The FRI:DAY start-up in Germany, part of the Baloise Group, also offers a climate-neutral car insurance tariff that offsets the CO2 emissions produced by your own vehicle. In cooperation with myclimate, the ECO contribution included in the tariff is invested in selected and certified climate protection projects.

For those drivers who only cover short distances or do not use their car at all on a regular basis, FRI:DAY offers the ideal solution: Germany’s very first and only car insurance policy with a premium that is based on the exact distance covered by the vehicle.

We operate on the Swiss, German, Belgian, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg markets. These markets do not give us access to low-income social groups in developed and/or developing countries. Baloise does, however, provide collective pensions in the markets it operates in, allowing it to make a contribution to social welfare.

While our products and services have geographical limits, it is important for us to explicitly emphasise that they are open to all customers in the target markets referred to above.

Positive customer experiences are the direct effect of our consistent customer focus. When it comes to customer satisfaction, our various customer contact points are systematically evaluated. Together with complaint and document management, this division has been the mouthpiece of our customers since 2010. With the knowledge we gain through these reviews, we are committed to continuously improving the customer experience.

In addition to personal contact during a customer visit, customer touchpoints can also be, for example, Customer Service calls, our online presence or our documents such as letters or forms.

We use various different tools to increase customer satisfaction levels and to obtain our customers’ viewpoints. These include our Customer Advisory Board, customer surveys, customer journeys, usability testing for online touchpoints and mirroring for qualitative reviews of customer experiences. We also continuously review new options for collecting our customers’ feedback in a prompt and authentic manner. In addition, complaints allow us to view direct feedback which provides us with unfiltered customer opinions and thus valuable information to optimise our customer touchpoints.
