Compensa Life Vienna Insurance Group SE

• Compensa Life Vienna Insurance Group SE has been operating in the Baltic States since 1993, when the life insurance company Seesam Life was established in Estonia.
• In 1999, the company Seesam Life Latvia expanded its operations to Latvia, and in 2001, the company's branch Seesam Lietuva Gyvybės Draudimas began operations in Lithuania as well.
• In 2007, all three life insurance companies in the Baltic States merged into a single company called Seesam Life Insurance SE, which was acquired by the Austrian insurance group Vienna Insurance Group in 2008. Following this event, Seesam Life Insurance SE became Compensa Life Vienna Insurance Group SE. Vienna Insurance Group is the sole shareholder of the company Compensa Life.
• On October 27, 2007, the life insurance companies operating in the Baltic States under the umbrella of Seesam Life Insurance merged into the single company Seesam Life Insurance SE.

“We place even more emphasis on improving customer experience and service, developing and creating new digital tools for life and health insurance. We aim to make it as convenient as possible for our clients to use our services. I believe this is the key to success in the competitive and rapidly modernizing life and health insurance market in the Baltic States,” says Tomas Milašius, Chairman of the Board and Head of the Lithuanian branch of Compensa Life Vienna Insurance Group SE.

We are the first life insurance company in Lithuania to join the Diversity Charter in 2022, which aims to ensure equal opportunities in the workplace, create standards for diversity management and openness, and promote practical implementation, organizational transparency, and social responsibility.

Employee well-being is an integral part of sustainable growth. Inclusion and diversity have become one of the company's strategic goals in creating a corporate culture that listens to every employee's opinion, respects different beliefs, and values experiences and ideas.

The company's consistent commitment to sustainability has been solidified by receiving the ISO 14001 certification, allowing us to monitor Compensa Life's environmental impact and assess the effectiveness of the Environmental Management System in use. A Sustainability Policy has been approved within the company. The Board ensures that the Policy is continuously updated and aligns with applicable legal standards and the objectives of the VIG group. In our workplace, we sort waste together, conserve energy resources, and regularly organize training on sustainability topics. We also care for the environment - planting trees to offset the paper we use and cleaning up the seaside. We continually work on digitizing processes and aim to reduce paper usage in our operations. All documents are signed electronically, and this way, each of us contributes to reducing unnecessary consumption.

The company has divisions in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia:

• In Lithuania, customer needs are managed by 122 administrative staff members. The company has divisions in 11 sales locations across 7 cities. It collaborates with over 870 dependent intermediaries.
• In Latvia, customer needs are handled by 59 administrative staff members. The company has divisions in 5 cities, with 98 dependent intermediaries.
• In Estonia, customer needs are managed by 70 administrative staff members. The company has divisions in 4 cities, and 25 people work in sales.

We are pleased that participation in social activities is part of our corporate culture, and we have many initiatives, from blood donation and cake days to various environmental cleanup campaigns. We also join digital initiatives, such as "Digital Clean-up Day," during which we aim to reduce the volume of digital data and the storage of unnecessary files. We participate in social activities with our colleagues, and we have a "Socially Active Day," where we dedicate one workday each year to a chosen volunteer activity.
