Allianz Global Investors (AGI), which manages our investment funds, is a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI) and therefore incorporates ESG issues into its investment decision-making.

We are supporting the global transition to clean energy by financing energy efficiency measures and innovation as well as renewable energy projects through fund and direct investments.

€139.6 billion

Allianz Global Investors manage €139.6bn of third party ESG assets.
In 2018, we also withdrew from insuring single coal-fired power plants and coal mines in operation or planning. We are committed to a full phase-out of all coal-based business models from our proprietary investments and Property & Casualty insurance portfolios by 2040.

Allianz hasn’t financed coal-based business models since 2015; no new investments have been allowed, equity stakes have been divested and fixed income investments made before 2015 are in run-off.

The exclusion thresholds for the energy generation share from coal power plants and the revenue share from coal mining will be tightened over time.  We will strengthen the thresholds from the 30% in place since 2015 to 0% by 2040 the latest. As of December 31, 2022, we will reduce our thresholds to 25%.1

In May 2018, we announced a further commitment to expand the scope of coal exclusions. We currently exclude companies involved, either directly or through entities they control (indirectly, minimum of 20% stake), in coal based business models, which are defined as follows: 

Energy generation from coal

  • Companies deriving 30% or more of their revenues from mining thermal coal, and/or planning more than 0.5 gigawatts (GW) of thermal coal capacity additions2 which are not in line with the 2°C threshold and/or
  • having to retire3 more than 50% of their generation capacities in the next ten years to be in line with the 2°C ceiling. 

Coal mining

  • Companies deriving 30% or more of their revenues from mining thermal coal.
