Sampo Oyj is a Finnish financial services company headquartered in Helsinki, primarily engaged in insurance operations. The group’s core business centres on property and casualty insurance through its main subsidiary, If P&C Insurance, which serves customers across the Nordic countries and the Baltic region. If P&C offers a comprehensive range of products covering personal and commercial lines, including motor, home, liability and marine insurance, supported by a network of local offices and digital service channels.
In addition to property and casualty underwriting, Sampo maintains a life insurance and wealth management arm via Mandatum Life, which provides unit-linked life and pension insurance products, investment funds and private banking services. Mandatum Life caters to both individual policyholders and corporate clients, helping to diversify Sampo’s revenue streams and deepen its footprint in long-term savings and retirement solutions throughout Finland.
The group traces its roots to the establishment of the original Sampo mutual insurer in 1909, with the current corporate structure taking shape in the mid-2000s after a series of mergers and demergers in the Finnish financial sector. Over the years, Sampo has expanded its geographic reach through strategic acquisitions, most notably the purchase of UK-based Hastings Group in 2019, which marked the company’s first major entry into the British insurance market.
Governance is overseen by a board of directors led by Chairman Kari Stadigh, supported by an experienced executive management team. Sampo continues to pursue disciplined underwriting, customer-focused innovation and selective growth in its core markets, positioning itself as one of Europe’s leading non-life insurers while maintaining a solid investment portfolio to support its long-term liabilities.
