In order to ensure a unified approach to organising insurance protection for subsidiaries, the Unified Corporate Framework of Insurance Protection for Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Russian Railways has been in effect since 2010. It establishes the general principles for organising the insurance protection of S&A of Russian Railways, the procedure for the interaction of S&A with insurance market participants and the procedure for planning insurance protection as well as concluding and servicing insurance contracts in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation and the Group’s regulatory acts.

As part of work conducted regularly to improve the parameters of the insurance protection of Russian Railways property and to ensure the highest level of insurance coverage, the most expensive and high-risk facilities have been identified from among the overall number of the Company’s insurable properties for which a separate limit has been set for a single insurance event in the amount of RUB 22.5 bln. The combined value of these facilities is more than RUB 390 bln. The Company performs work each year to provide special facultative reinsurance at leading foreign reinsurance companies. In particular, the reinsurance of risks for these facilities is provided by such major reinsurance companies as Swiss Re, Munich Re, Allianz and Zurich Insurance Company, among others.
