Company description and purpose of company Gebäudeversicherung Bern (GVB)

Building Insurance Bern (GVB) Who is GVB? Building Insurance Bern has existed since 1807 and is a financially independent company under public law. It is run according to private-sector principles. The focus has always been on risk compensation and solidarity among homeowners. GVB employs 130 people at its headquarters in Ittigen. In addition, 110 valuation experts and around 180 other specialists such as fire protection experts, lightning protection officers, fire brigade inspectors and instructors work part-time for the GVB in all districts. How is the GVB financed? The building insurance is financed exclusively through the premium income of all building owners in the canton of Bern and through investment income. The income is used to cover the damage and flows into provisions for disasters. Surpluses are reimbursed to the insured - in line with the cooperative corporate philosophy. The canton is not financially involved in the GVB. The building insurance has neither endowment capital nor does it claim a state guarantee. With its activities, the GVB does not burden the canton or the taxpayer in any way - on the contrary: On behalf of the canton, it performs important fire safety tasks and finances them through the insurance premiums. Thanks to sufficient reserves and provisions, as well as thanks to reinsurance and the risk guarantee of all cantonal building insurances, insolvency of GVB is very unlikely, even in the largest possible disaster scenario. GVB's monopoly The Building Insurance Act stipulates that all buildings located in the canton of Bern must be insured with GVB. GVB thus has a monopoly position. The government council of the canton of Bern has reviewed the current system and established that the monopoly situation of the GVB and the compulsory insurance are in the public interest, are legally permissible and have proven themselves in the past. He therefore wants to keep the current system - with an insurance monopoly and obligation. Both the Federal Supreme Court and EU law consider monopoly institutions in the area of ​​natural hazard insurance to be permissible under certain circumstances, such as in the canton of Bern.
