It is no coincidence that the film portrait of EGK uses Birspark 1 as its backdrop. After all, nature and technology also surround the employees in Laufen during their daily work for the insured. Materials that are close to life and nature, such as wood or clay, and more than 2,000 biodiverse square meters of plants ensure a pleasant climate, supplemented and supported by a sophisticated technical heating-cooling system involving the neighboring River Birs. The online Annual Report 2021 provides all the details, while the film footage shows the successful concrete implementation - the building itself.
The human being in the center
What appears simple and natural in the eyes of the beholder is equipped with a high-tech interior. For this reason, the building is emblematic of EGK's principles. As a forward-looking pioneer, it enabled its insured to have free access to high-quality natural medicine decades ago and has since incorporated state-of-the-art technical solutions for the entire administrative process. This creates time and space for personal contact with the insured, another of EGK's central concerns.
