We aim to lead our industry by embedding strong environment, social and governance (ESG) standards into our everyday decision-making across our insurance and investment businesses.
Social responsibility
We’re committed to being a socially responsible business and a trusted partner for our employees, customers and the people we work in partnership with. Through our responsible products, being a reponsible employer and our charity work, we help our customers, our employees and society.
Being a responsible business
Our customers
Our customers are at the heart of everything we do.
Our employees
We think our employees make our business stronger and we strive to be a great company to work for.
Our products
We implement sustainability in our products, underwriting and procurement.
Our charity work
Our charity work helps bring positive change and builds resilience.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
Our industry-leading approach integrates ESG concerns by applying Allianz Group-wide corporate rules and ESG instruments across all our underwriting, investment, and asset management activities.
Examples of ESG risks include human rights violations, illegal logging activities, or severe corruption allegations.
However, ESG factors can also present opportunities to induce positive change, such as increased requirements for renewable energy investments or offering solutions for emerging markets. We aim to lead our industry in integrating ESG factors into our insurance and investment decisions.
Becoming more resilient
We believe that the world would be a better place if people were more resilient.
Our business will be stronger with resilient employees. Society is stronger when people are more resilient to change and adversity. Our communities and businesses will be more sustainable if they are resilient to external challenges and our world can become more resilient to challenges like climate change and disasters.
We know that insurance helps build resilience by enabling people and businesses to carry on when the worst happens, but also by helping them to manage potential risks in the first place.
You never know what is around the next corner, but we believe that resilient people and businesses can come back from life’s setbacks stronger than ever.
Our corporate responsibility activity is based around making our customers, employees and society more resilient.
Our commitment to human rights
Respect for human rights is a fundamental requirement for responsible business within and beyond our direct operations. Allianz SE is a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and we are committed to upholding human rights. To do this, we look across our roles and embed specific processes to manage human rights.
As Allianz Group, we carried our first Human Rights Impact Assessment in 2021 based on UNGP’s methodology to identify gaps in our approach and we are continuing to work to improve this.
