Zavarovalnica Triglav has a two-tier management system. It is run by the Management Board and supervised by the Supervisory Board.
The governing bodies of Zavarovalnica Triglav are the General Meeting, the Supervisory Board and the Management Board.
Zavarovalnica Triglav has a governance system in place that is based on a risk management system attuned to the business principles, strategic objectives and risk profile of the insurance company. To this end it has established a clear organizational structure with defined responsibilities and authorizations and established reporting lines, an internal control system, a business continuity system and an outsourcing policy in case the insurance undertaking outsources individual operational functions or activities or parts thereof, with the aim of ensuring an optimal and costeffective level of its services. Zavarovalnica Triglav may organize its operations in individual countries within the framework of a branch, subject to the same management system and forming part of the same organizational structure as applies to the whole of Zavarovalnica Triglav.
The Zavarovalnica Triglav's governance system also includes the risk management function, the compliance function, the internal audit function and the actuarial function, which are defined by the Solvency II Directive and the law governing the insurance sector as key functions (hereinafter: the key functions), as well as control functions and committees appointed by the Management Board.
The Company's risk management system is based on the three lines of defence model. The first line of defence consists of the business functions, which, as part of their operational decision-making, are responsible for identifying, assuming, and actively managing specific business risks in accordance
with the directives set by the Management Board. The second line of defence involves three key functions (the risk management function, the actuarial function and the compliance function) along with the relevant committees within the risk management system; this line implements procedures for the identification, assessment, measurement and monitoring of risk exposure and the system of limits, including all related reporting. The third line of defence comprises the internal audit key function.

In conducting its assessment, the Supervisory Board undertakes the following activities:
partiality of an individual member;
• delivering an opinion on the current Supervisory Board composition based on the needs resulting from the objectives set out by Zavarovalnica Triglav.
The key functions at Zavarovalnica Triglav are organised as independent organisational units, which exercise their duties and responsibilities independently of one another and of the Company's other organisational units. They are directly answerable to the Management Board, and are organised with the aim of providing adequate internal-control mechanisms within the company. Their functioning is organised within the framework of three lines of defence in Zavarovalnica Triglav's corporate governance system: the risk management function, the compliance function and the actuarial function carry out control activities as the second line of defence, while the internal audit function operates as the third line of defence. Key functions in the parent company actively ensure coordinated risk management at Group level and the transfer of knowledge and best practices and other activities in line with the minimum standards across all companies of the Triglav Group.
The Company has defined in its internal rules the conditions, methods and procedure for the temporary replacement or substitution of a holder of a key function in circumstances where he/she is unable to perform the tasks for which he/she is authorised pursuant to Article 52(1) of the Insurance Act and his/her replacement or substitution needs to be appointed at short notice.
All four key functions work with one another, and regularly exchange the information needed for their operation. Particular care is taken to identify, inform and cooperate in the case of non-routine transactions or transactions that are identified as having a higher risk. The duties, responsibilities, processes and reporting obligations of each key function are, at the very least, regulated in detail in bylaws.
Annually, prior to the approval of the annual reports, the key function holders submit a statement of assurance on behalf of all key functions within the Triglav Group. This statement confirms the Group's compliance and attests that, to the best of their knowledge, all material risks are being adequately managed at both the company and the Group levels.
The risk management function has the overarching responsibility for the coordinated and reliable operation of the overall integrated risk management system. It ensures the development of risk measurement methodologies by regularly monitoring the Group's exposure and overall risk profile, and reports and advises the Management Board and the Supervisory Board on the risks identified. The Risk Management function works with and advises the Management Board and the Supervisory Board, including on strategic matters such as insurance strategy, mergers, acquisitions and major projects and investments, and identifies and assesses emerging and sustainability risks. In addition, it provides active oversight of the functioning of the risk management system committees, the coordination and calculation of capital requirements and capital adequacy, the coordination of the process and preparation of the own risk assessment report, the solvency and financial position report, and the regular report to the supervisor.
Within the framework of the internal control system and in accordance with its governing policy, the Compliance Function monitors the Company's adherence to regulations and other commitments. In this context, it assesses compliance risks, evaluates the potential impact of changes in the legal environment on the Company's operations, and provides advice on alignment and on the establishment and enhancement of compliance programmes. This includes developing internal compliance controls for designated business areas. Through its advisory activities and targeted reviews, it assesses the suitability and effectiveness of procedures and measures put in place to ensure the Company's operations comply with regulations and other commitments, including identified changes in the legal environment. The function reports on the Company's compliance status to the Management Board and the Supervisory Board (or its committees). Furthermore, it plays a vital part in promoting the highest standards of business ethics and enhancing the Company's corporate culture.
The internal audit function provides continuous, risk-based and comprehensive oversight of the Company's operations, designed to protect and enhance value and to improve business performance. It achieves this by impartially, systematically and methodically reviewing and evaluating the suitability and effectiveness of the Company's governance, risk management and control procedures, and by providing recommendations for enhancing their performance and efficiency. In addition, the function performs advisory services, collaborates with external auditors, supervisory authorities and other assurance providers. The function monitors the implementation of recommendations, orders, warnings and other measures from supervisory bodies, as well as recommendations from internal and external auditors. It is responsible for the quality and continuous development of internal auditing within the Company and for maintaining an appropriate level of internal auditing quality across the Triglav Group. Furthermore, it conducts or participates in internal audit reviews in other Triglav Group companies as needed.
Internal auditors are impartial in their work, and avoid conflicts of interest. Accordingly, they do not undertake any developmental or operational duties that could give rise to a conflict of interest and jeopardise their impartiality, and do not make decisions on activities in areas subject to internal auditing.
The key tasks of the actuarial function are coordinating and carrying out calculations of technical provisions, ensuring that adequate methods, models and assumptions are used for calculating technical provisions, evaluating the adequacy, sufficiency and quality of the data required for calculating technical provisions, examining the adequacy of the general underwriting risk policy and providing opinions on whether the insurance premiums for individual products are adequate, i.e. the premiums for individual products being sufficient to cover all liabilities arising from such insurance contracts, and conducting reinsurance adequacy examinations.
The actuarial function is actively involved in the implementation and exercising of the risk management system, especially in the development, application and monitoring of the adequacy of models designed for calculating capital requirements, and in the self-assessment of risk and solvency. The tasks of the actuarial function are carried out in accordance with applicable statutory provisions, the Actuarial Function Policy and standards in the field of actuarial science.
The main task of the Holder of the Actuarial Function is to regularly follow the execution of the Actuarial Function in the field assigned to him/her, and report his/her findings to the Supervisory Board and Management Board in line with the provisions of the internal document.
The insurance company also has a function included in its governance processes to ensure that the policies and procedures for the distribution of insurance products are properly implemented. The Management Board appoints at least one person responsible.
The person responsible is in charge of, inter alia, the establishment and operation of the insurance product governance and control system and the formal and substantive aspects of the development and distribution of insurance products throughout their life cycle. In doing so, he/she takes into account the level of complexity, the defined target market and the distribution strategy for each product, and pays particular attention to assessing on a regular basis any changes in circumstances that require the adaptation of individual products. He/she also monitors and ensures proper verification of the fulfilment of customer needs and requirements, addresses the causes of complaints and claims, obtains and considers market information in the light of IDD requirements, ensures effective risk management, the management of conflicts of interest in the sales process, the adequate qualification and information of sales staff and distribution partners, etc.
In relation to the distribution of insurance products, all appropriate activities are generally
undertaken to ensure that insurance products are successfully marketed and sold in the target market.
All the above tasks are carried out in compliance with the applicable legislation, the Policy on the Management and Supervision and Distribution of Insurance Products and other internal acts of the Company.
The Management Board appoints the committees that have an advisory role, or it gives them specific decision-making powers. They are responsible for the efficient functioning of the risk management system in the areas under their supervision and they regularly monitor risks to the insurance company and the Triglav Group companies within the framework of the risk management system in the second line of defence at the level of the insurance company and at the level of the Triglav Group.
Control functions are designed to verify and oversee the execution of activities within a given process. A failure in these controls could lead to the non-achievement of business objectives, a breach of regulations or other rules, the violation of contractual or other binding provisions or could result in business loss (whether financial or non-financial, such as reputational damage). The control functions pertain primarily to the following business areas:
The heads of these control functions pay particular attention to ensuring adequate and comprehensive reporting to the Company's key functions, in line with the policies that define the scope of each key function. This reporting concerns the risks to which the Company is exposed and the internal controls in place to manage them. Exercising due diligence and responsibility, the heads of control functions within the Company ensure that all key risks, including potential ones, are correctly identified, assessed, monitored and managed within the Company and the Triglav Group, in line with applicable legislation and internal regulations. The detailed reporting obligations of the control functions are defined in the Company's specific internal acts that govern each business area.
If a key function identifies that it is not receiving (enough) adequate, high-quality data or information or that it is receiving it too late, it must immediately notify the other key functions and, if necessary, the Management Board, and propose appropriate corrective measures or changes to the reporting system.
Once a year, before the annual reports are adopted, the heads of control functions in the Triglav Group provide a statement of assurance for all significant control functions within the Triglav Group regarding compliance. This statement confirms the Group's compliance and attests that, to the best of their knowledge, all material risks are being adequately managed at both the Company and Group levels.
The outward reinsurance framework for the Triglav Group establishes a centralised function for this purpose within the Company and across the Group. The primary objective of this centralised approach is to optimise reinsurance protection by efficiently transferring excess risks to the Group's specialist reinsurer, Triglav Re, and (subsequently)to third-party reinsurers, thereby aligning with the Company's policies on risk appetite and capital management.
To achieve these objectives, a multi-level implementation approach is employed. An overarching reinsurance strategy for the Triglav Group has been formulated, which is supported by policies and processes for effective execution, monitoring, measurement and control. The content of these framework documents is then cascaded down to individual subsidiary (re)insurance companies through the application of minimum standards.
By establishing a central reinsurance department that reports directly to the Company's Management Board, the framework underscores the importance of outward reinsurance as a critical component of the Company's operations. This provides essential tools and levers for managing risks within regulatory and internal frameworks. This function maintains a comprehensive overview of all outward reinsurance placements and collaborates closely with the key functions within the Company.
The fundamental provisions of the reporting system in the insurance company, including the procedure for identifying the reporting obligation and persons in charge and responsible for reporting, are governed by a special rulebook.
In order to ensure all necessary information for the effective and prudent management of the
Company, all business functions, including control and key functions in accordance with the Insurance Act and internal regulations, report to the Management Board, the Supervisory Board, the Audit Committee and the Risk Committee, and, in certain cases, to committees established by the Management Board. Key functions must immediately report any known or identified material risks to the Management Board and, if necessary, also to the Supervisory Board.
The scope and method of reporting, the lines or schemes of reporting and the frequency of reporting for each key function are set out in detail in the key function's bylaws.
The Management Board reports regularly, exhaustively and accurately to the Supervisory Board on the progress of the Company's operations, its financial standing and its solvency. The Management Board is obliged to report to the Supervisory Board at least once a quarter.
The briefing of the Supervisory Board is undertaken in writing, or orally at meetings of the Supervisory Board.
The risk management function regularly reports to the Management Board about important findings in the field of risks, the capital adequacy of the insurance company and the Triglav Group, and is responsible for coordinating the process and preparing the own risk assessment report, the solvency and financial position report and the regular report to the Supervisor.
The Holder of the Risk Management function reports to the Supervisory Board on a quarterly basis on important findings regarding the risks and capital adequacy of the insurance company, and the Triglav Group, in a risk report.
The risk management function actively participates and reports on important findings to the committees within the risk management system.
In line with the internal acts, the risk management function is also responsible for informing the Insurance Supervision Agency about important changes in the area of risk management, as well as for regular reporting on capital adequacy of the insurance company and the Triglav Group.
The Compliance Function reports regularly on the Company's compliance status to the Management Board, the Supervisory Board and the Audit Committee, and also provides them with its annual work
plan. The compliance report itself outlines the key compliance risk areas for both the Company and the Triglav Group, including the assessed risk level trend and the status of internal controls compared to the previous reporting period, along with reasons for any changes in the risk and internal control assessments. Furthermore, the report summarises any instances of non-compliance identified within the Company and the Group, with a focus on major incidents or non-compliances, their related consequences, and the measures taken.
The compliance function also reports quarterly and annually to the Management Board and the Audit Committee on the contracts concluded and an analysis of the total value of payments to audit firms.
When exposure to significantly increased compliance risk has been identified, the compliance function also reports accordingly to the committee responsible for monitoring risk exposure.
The internal audit function reports the results of the internal audits that it has conducted and the realisation of the annual plan of work exclusively to stakeholders at the Company; it only reports to stakeholders outside the Company when so required by law or on the basis of the Management Board's written approval or request.
It briefs the senior managers of the audited areas and the Management Board on the findings of internal audits. In addition, it:
The holder of the internal audit function also briefs the Management Board, the Audit Committee and the Supervisory Board on any other significant matters relating to the governance system of the Company and the Group,risk management and control procedures or to the operation of the internal audit function.
The Holder of the Actuarial Function briefs the Management Board and Supervisory Board once a year on relevant findings relating to the reliability and adequacy of the applied methods, models and assumptions used for calculating technical provisions, and whether the created technical provisions are adequate enough to cover all liabilities arising from accepted insurances in the Triglav Group, the underwriting risk policy including findings regarding the amount of insurance premiums for individual products in terms of whether the insurance premium for individual products is sufficient to cover all liabilities arising from such products, and the adequacy of re-insurance and the transfer of risk to a special purpose vehicle.
The Holder of the Actuarial Function can, if necessary, report to the Management Board about other important subjects.
The Holder of the Actuarial Function shall compile a written report outlining the findings for the previous business year based on the balance as at the last day of the previous business year.
Should the Holder of the Actuarial Function establish, in the course of the performance of his/her task, that the insurance premiums for individual insurances and other available resources fail to cover all obligations arising from insurance contracts, or that the Insurance company or the Triglav Group fails to create technical provisions in accordance with the regulations, or that increased insurance or credit risks are perceived, the holder of the actuarial function shall report to the Management Board without delay.
Regular periodic reviews of insurance products, taking into account any events that could have a material impact on the potential risk to the target market, are used to assess the adequacy of an insurance product to meet the needs of the target market, and to assess the appropriateness of the distribution strategy. The written report of the review is submitted to the competent committee for its consideration.

Members of the Supervisory Board take all precautionary measures in order to avoid possible conflicts of interest that could affect their judgement. Once a year, during replacements, and in the event of any change, the members of the Supervisory Board sign and submit to the Supervisory Board a statement of independence and loyalty, thereby taking a position with respect to individual conflicts of interest in accordance with the criteria set out in the Slovenian Corporate Governance Code of Limited Companies, the Rules of Procedure of the Supervisory Board, and the Rules on the Management of Conflicts of Interest and Related Party Transactions of Zavarovalnica Triglav,d.d.
Supervisory Board members inform other members of the Supervisory Board of any conflicts (actual, potential or perceived conflict of interest) in connection with the performance of the duties of a member of the Supervisory Board.
In the event of a suspected conflict of interest, a member of the Supervisory Board immediately informs the other members of the Supervisory Board and the Secretary of the Supervisory Board and completely disqualifies himself/herself from further work on the matter in relation to which any form of conflict of interest is suspected, until the recipients of the disclosure have made a decision on the existence of a conflict of interest and have issued guidance on the member's further conduct. If the Supervisory Board determines the case at hand to be a breach of the non-compete clause, the relevant member of the Supervisory Board is obliged to immediately discontinue the breach and transfer the gains from the business in question to the Company, as well as compensate the Company for any damages.
If the Supervisory Board deems the matter to be a relevant conflict of interest, the member in question immediately terminates the controversial relationship; but if the relevant conflict of interest is not merely of a transitional character and cannot be eliminated, the Supervisory Board assesses the need for the person's office as a member of the Supervisory Board to be terminated and takes action accordingly.
In the event of a potential conflict of interest or the appearance of conflict of interest, the individual member of the Supervisory Board offers an explanation of the conflict of interest or the circumstances of the appearance of conflict of interest and abstains from participating or making decisions on the issue concerned.
A potential conflict of interest (actual, potential or apparent) should be taken into account by the Supervisory Board in the selection of candidates for members: candidates with existing conflicts of interest that could significantly affect their decision-making will not be deemed suitable to be appointed members of the Supervisory Board. In the selection procedure, a candidate must disclose information on membership of other management or supervision bodies and an assessment of the potential conflict of interest.
Furthermore, in their work, individual members of the Supervisory Board are not bound by the opinions or directions of those who elected, proposed or appointed them, taking full personal responsibility for the execution of their duties.
A member of the Supervisory Board shall be prohibited from taking up a position as a key function holder for three (3) months subsequent to the termination of their appointment, whether within the Company or an associated undertaking.
In the event of a breach of the non-compete clause, the relevant member of the Management Board immediately informs the Supervisory Board. If the Supervisory Board determines the case at hand to be a breach of the non-compete clause, the relevant member of the Management Board immediately discontinues the breach and transfer the gains from the business in question to the Company, and compensates the Company for any damages.
The members of the Management Board must be constantly alert to the existence of circumstances resulting in an actual or potential conflict of interest as well as the appearance of conflict of interest related to the performance of their work or function, and must act in accordance with the internal rules on the disclosure and prevention of conflicts of interest. They may not use the information acquired in relation to performing this function to promote the interests of themselves or somebody else.
In the event of an actual conflict of interest, the relevant member of the Management Board offers an explanation of the circumstances related to the conflict of interest to the Management Board.
The procedure for the elimination or disclosure of a conflict of interest and for the exclusion of the member of the Management Board from the decision-making process because of the actual and potential conflict of interest as well as the appearance of conflict of interest must be documented in writing and explained.
The Rules of Zavarovalnica Triglav, d.d., on the Management of Conflict of Interest and Related Party Transactions stipulate and define:
the term "conflicts of interest of the Company's employees";
the duty to disclose regularly and periodically any actual and potential conflict of interest as well as the appearance of conflict of interest;
the duty to disclose any personal or other relationships with third parties;
A member of the Management Board shall be prohibited from taking up a position as a key function holder for three (3) months subsequent to the termination of their appointment, whether within the Company or an associated undertaking.
Executives, as defined in the Conflicts of Interest and Related Party Transactions Management Policy, shall complete a related party questionnaire at the time of appointment, at each change, or at least annually, to verify the existence of potential conflicts of interest and business links between them and the Company. Executives must disclose changes to related party information as soon as they occur.
The Company ensures the independence of the key functions by ensuring that they perform their tasks independently of each other and of other organisational units within the Company, and within their own independent staff departments, directly subordinate to the Management Board. The holder of a key function and the employees in each key function department must not perform and supervise the same work tasks at the same time.
In addition to the above disclosure obligation, key function holders, their deputies and all other employees in the key function organisational units of Zavarovalnica Triglav and Triglav Group, in order to reduce the possibility of any conflict of interest, are additionally subject to the obligation to not be members of the management or supervisory bodies, or of the committees or boards of the supervisory bodies of any company in the Triglav Group.
Zavarovalnica Triglav is convinced that competent, enthusiastic, healthy, satisfied and motivated employees are crucial in order to achieve the business objectives of the Company. Many employee management activities are therefore focused on achieving these goals. Zavarovalnica Triglav is further aware that its business goals, as well as the economic conditions, are subject to constant change. It therefore regularly redefines and re-evaluates the priorities in the management of employees.
Zavarovalnica Triglav grants all employees equal rights irrespective of their nationality, race or ethnic origin, national or social origin, gender, skin colour, health status, disability, religious or other beliefs, age, sexual orientation, trade union membership or material standing, taking into account the real differences in the positions of individual employee groups.
Particular attention is paid to ensuring a safe and healthy working environment, which is the foundation for quality work and maintaining the health of employees. To this end, risks to health and safety in the working environment are continuously identified and managed by taking appropriate measures.
Zavarovalnica Triglav protects the dignity and privacy of employees, taking appropriate measures to protect workers against mobbing and other repeated or systematic reprehensible or obviously negative and insulting behaviour or conduct directed against employees in the work place or in connection to their work.
Aware of the fact that continuous and targeted professional training is crucial for developing and
maintaining competences, the insurance company offers its employees the possibility of systemic specialised and formal education and training, that is based on the need to increase each individual's knowledge and competence. In this framework, employees have an opportunity to participate in various forms of training, including both in-house training courses and external formal forms of education. The purpose of the educational and training activities is to foster progress and exchange key knowledge crucial for the employees' expertise in individual business lines. An important form of transfer of knowledge and good practice is employee mobility between the companies of the Triglav Group. They give special attention to training and coaching of all managers who play a key role in the implementation of various employee management systems and organisational culture transformations.
The Company attracts promising young talent from fields relevant to its business needs by offering scholarships, facilitating mandatory work placements and collaborating in various other ways with secondary schools and universities.
The long-term motivation of employees is supported, in part, by the Company's remuneration system (Remuneration Policy). This system is designed to retain suitably qualified, competent and dedicated employees, while not encouraging risk-taking beyond the Company's defined risk tolerance, thereby ensuring the maintenance of adequate capital strength. A key element of this is the performance management system, which is supported by systematic annual and quarterly reviews. During these reviews, employees and their line managers jointly define their business and development objectives, enabling the focused performance and growth of each individual. Through performance management and competency development, the Company guides its employees, develops their potential and ensures they are motivated by aligning their personal objectives with organisational goals and fostering a stimulating work environment.
The management of key and promising employees who hold or will hold jobs crucial for the business operations of the Company is also of the utmost importance. Zavarovalnica Triglav develops specialised forms of training and adequate systems to support the careers of these employee groups.
Employees are systematically involved in the decision-making process through both direct and indirect participation. The Company encourages direct participation at the individual and team level, where employees contribute to shaping their own working conditions and processes. This also occurs in various collective forums such as departmental meetings, divisional committees and similar bodies. Indirect participation is facilitated through elected representatives on the Works Council, which serves as the central body for employee co-management, and through employee representatives on the Supervisory Board.
Through representative trade unions, employees also engage in collective bargaining regarding pay and certain other general conditions of employment.

The Guidelines are based on the "OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations, January 2022" (hereinafter: the OECD TPG) and represent the minimum standard for transfer pricing compliance. The OECD TPG outlines internationally agreed principles and guidance for the application of the arm's length principle. Consequently, the OECD guidelines are widely regarded as an authoritative source for tax authorities in OECD member states and also serve as a key reference for non-OECD countries.
Zavarovalnica Triglav strives for a pragmatic approach to maintaining an effective system of controlled transactions, in order to holistically meet the business, tax, legal, regulatory and governance needs of the Triglav Group to the fullest extent possible.
The activities in connection with related parties encompass governance, strategic development, and operations.
Governance activities are related to the management and supervision of subsidiaries. Zavarovalnica Triglav's governance activities are not charged to subsidiaries, provided that they are undertaken exclusively in the interests of Zavarovalnica Triglav as a member/ shareholder.
Strategic development activities are those relating to overall development, the implementation of new products, IT solutions and other development activities. Operations refer to the implementation of administrative, financial and other services (low value-added services).
The main orientations of the subsidiary governance, taking into account the long-term objectives and values or strategies of the Triglav Group, is determined by the Policy on the corporate governance of subsidiaries of the Triglav Group (hereinafter: the Policy).
The Triglav Group is comprised of the parent company Zavarovalnica Triglav, d.d., and its subsidiaries in which the parent company has a direct or indirect voting majority. As a rule, the Policy applies to all subsidiaries and is reasonably applicable to associated companies.
Subsidiaries in the Triglav Group operate as independent legal entities in accordance with applicable law, resolutions adopted by the General Meetings and the management and supervision bodies of the subsidiaries, business cooperation agreements (if concluded) and other adopted internal acts.
In order to ensure effective governance and control of the Triglav Group's subsidiaries, a three-line governance system is implemented, which serves as the basis for policy implementation. The three-line governance system includes:
The Triglav Group's three-line subsidiary governance system is the responsibility of: the Triglav Group Subsidiary Governance function, key functions, professional departments and business areas of the parent company, which by working in cooperation and managing risks in their respective fields establish and maintain an effective and transparent Triglav Group governance system.
The Policy establishes a system of corporate governance for subsidiaries through the functioning of the General Meetings, Supervisory Bodies and management bodies of each subsidiary, and by standardising and unifying key rules and procedures in individual areas of expertise, including the key functions of risk management, compliance, internal audit and actuarial in the subsidiaries, with the aim of establishing uniform minimum standards for the performance of the core business and for the effective management, reporting and control at the Group level.
The three-line governance system is designed to support a clear delineation of responsibilities, accountabilities and effective risk management at the Triglav Group level, while ensuring that business activities are carried out in line with Triglav Group's corporate objectives and strategy, which also enables harmonisation of operations and the achievement of synergies. The three-line governance system includes:
i. Corporate governance: The first line considers corporate governance as the active exercise of the governance rights that the parent company or its subsidiary has as a parent company in accordance with the laws applicable to each subsidiary, while respecting the subsidiary's internal rules. Corporate governance also involves establishing and maintaining an effective dialogue between the insurer and its subsidiaries to ensure that common objectives are achieved. The management and coordination of corporate governance activities in accordance with the three-line governance system of Zavarovalnica Triglav and its subsidiaries is the responsibility of the Triglav Group's Subsidiary Management Department, which actively cooperates with other relevant organisational units within Zavarovalnica Triglav in the performance of its tasks.
ii. Governance of key functions: The second line relates to the key functions of the parent company, namely risk management, compliance, internal audit and actuarial, and through them, to the key functions of the subsidiaries. These functions are key to supporting business lines in achieving business objectives and ensuring that risks are properly identified, assessed, monitored and managed. Key functions operate independently of business lines to ensure objective risk assessment and control. In accordance with due diligence and accountability, the holders of key and other control functions in Zavarovalnica Triglav and in subsidiaries ensure that all key risks in Zavarovalnica Triglav, d.d. and the Triglav Group are properly identified, assessed, monitored and managed.
iii. Business Line Management: The third line represents the business lines within the parent company that are responsible for managing business activities and risks at the Group level.
Zavarovalnica Triglav maintains a top-down governance approach. This principle is central to all aspects of governance, strategy and operational decisions within the insurance company and its subsidiaries, and ensures that management direction, policies and strategic objectives are set at the highest level and are consistently communicated and implemented at all levels.
In accordance with the Policy, Zavarovalnica Triglav, as the parent company, performs activities in the field of governance of its direct subsidiaries and thus implements the subsidiary governance system. Accordingly, direct subsidiaries assume the responsibility for transferring the governance system and performing governance activities in their subsidiaries. Specifically, the expected objectives of the transfer of the system and the implementation of activities are defined in the Minimum Standards of Zavarovalnica Triglav, d.d., for the Operations of Subsidiaries. The Minimum Standards are the basic and essential requirements defined to ensure the efficient and consistent operation of all members of the Group, regardless of their geographical location or specific activity. The Minimum Standards are designed to ensure that all subsidiaries operate in a manner that is consistent with Triglav Group's objectives, values and strategies, while taking into account local regulatory and market specificities. The Policy sets out the procedures for preparing, monitoring, enforcing and updating the minimum standards, the responsibilities of the professional areas of the parent company, the management of the subsidiaries and the procedures for taking action in the event of identified deviations from the minimum standards.
The Policy clearly defines the responsibilities for the management of subsidiaries in the parent company, the procedure for escalation of perceived risks and the powers and responsibilities of Triglav Group subsidiaries, as well as the basis for the Remuneration Policy for members of the supervisory and management bodies of subsidiaries, the conclusion of transactions between the parent company and subsidiaries, and the reporting system of subsidiaries.
In conjunction with the Internal Audit Department, each year the Corporate and Legal Affairs Division carries out an assessment of this system and policy, and reviews the compliance with the strategy and other policies in Zavarovalnica Triglav's governance system, and with other bylaws, legislation and other regulations.
The Corporate Governance Policy of Zavarovalnica Triglav was adopted on 30 March 2010 by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Zavarovalnica Triglav, and includes the amendments adopted by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board on 29 March 2011, 15 March 2012, 7 April 2014, 3 March 2015, 17 December 2015, 22 December 2016, 21 December 2017, 20 December 2018, 19 December 2019, 12 November 2020, 17 November 2021, 18 August 2022, 30 August 2023, 21 August 2024 and 19 August 2025.
