Program "Asfalistikos Goneas"

European Reliance actively integrates Corporate Social Responsibility at the heart of its business operations, thus creating a new innovative insurance offered free of charge to the Greek society.

The company, in addition to its sponsorships and solidarity actions of financial assistance and understanding of the needs of society, leverages its skills and knowledge capital so that its business operation is multidimensional and accepted by the general population as well as by its customers. By creating insurance products that satisfy fixed and stable needs of society, without the requirement of a relationship between the company and the insured, thus contributing to society as a whole.

At present, financial support is not enough. Responsible corporate citizens must mobilise both their resources and their expertise in order to produce value-added work in the social sector. The "Asfalistikos Goneas" stands by the policyholder and his/her family in the event that he/she is unable to fulfil his/her role as a natural parent due to an accident, ensuring free purchases from a number of European Reliance partner companies.

In the entire population of the Greek territory.

The program is open-ended. It was launched in 2012 and continues to operate until today.

"Asfalistikos goneas" is a pioneering and innovative insurance program that can be acquired free of charge by any interested insured of the Company. Through the program, European Reliance provides:

1. Free purchases of up to €1,500 per month for a full year to the family of the insured, in case of loss of life due to an accident of the insured.
2. Free purchases of up to 1,500€ per month in the event of hospitalization due to an accident and for a period equal to the insured's hospitalization time of up to twelve months.
3. If you already have or have acquired any type of insurance, e.g. car, fire, life, etc., at the renewal of the policy, the amount received from the purchases made with Asfalistikos goneas card is refunded to the insured. European Reliance refunds up to 100% of the premiums paid by the insured minus one euro. The amount of the refund depends on the amount of purchases made from the companies participating in the programme.

Sustainability requires strong financial results and social solidarity towards all stakeholders, especially in these days of testing times.

"Asfalistikos Goneas "comes from the company's duty to ensure that social contribution is not limited to sponsorships, but is part of our business plan. 
As part of its corporate responsibility, European Reliance offers to the entire Greek society the innovative program "Asfalistikos Goneas ". A no-cost program, directly linked to the most common act of every family, its daily purchases.
