The
The Unfallversicherung Bund und Bahn (UVB) is a statutory accident insurance that protects more than eleven million people in over 2,200 public administrations and companies as well as companies of the federal government and Deutsche Bahn. It is part of the German social security system and has its legal mandate in the Social Code, the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the statutory provisions[1][5].
The main mission of the UVB is to ensure social security and to protect the health and ability to work of its insured. Important values are prevention, rehabilitation and financial support in the event of an insurance claim[1][5].
Although specific sustainability goals are not explicitly mentioned, the UVB focuses on long-term prevention measures and the promotion of a safe working environment. These measures indirectly contribute to sustainability by protecting the health of the insured and reducing the economic burden of occupational accidents[1][5].
The UVB also offers seminars and courses to raise awareness of occupational safety and strengthen the skills of the insured[2]. These educational offers are an important part of their prevention strategy.
Overall, the UVB is a central component of the German social security system, which is committed to the safety and well-being of its insured.
