Diversity and inclusion
We recognise the importance of having a diverse, inclusive workforce that is made up of employees from different backgrounds.
Be yourself. Be unique. Together we're Allianz.
We believe that the difference in our people makes the difference to our business. We recognise the importance of diversity and inclusion as it gives us a rich variety of perspectives, experiences and talents, and fosters a vibrant environment where every individual feels valued and empowered.
By embracing diversity in all forms - race, gender, age, ability, belief system, sexual orientation and gender identity. We’re being brave and doing what’s right, which helps us better connect with our diverse customers. It helps us to provide accessible products, services and specially tailored solutions for our customers needs.
We are committed to creating a space where everyone counts, where differences are celebrated and where each employee can reach their full potential.
Our culture supports our people to bring their whole, authentic selves to work. We inspire trust and respect others, because we achieve more together.
We are a FTSE Russell Top 100 Company 2024!

Diversity at Allianz
“We firmly believe that diversity in all of its forms is a driving force for innovation and growth. Our commitment to embracing these differences has not only improved our culture, but the services we provide to our customers. Still, I recognise that our journey is far from over, and there is always more we can do to break down barriers and challenge biases whenever we encounter them.”
Colm Holmes, Allianz UK CEO
Allianz fosters a workplace grounded in fairness, inclusivity, and opportunity for all. These principles have always guided our practices and will continue to do so.
With changing demographics, increasing mobility of talent and evolving social structures, we are convinced that the success of Allianz depends on our ability to attract and retain the best talent from a diverse pool of candidates.
”Diversity of minds” leads to more innovation, higher resilience, better decisions, greater customer focus and ultimately better business results and performance, which directly benefits our shareholders.
Furthermore, our 128 million Allianz customers are diverse, so our workforce at Allianz must be too. Like most companies, we are assessing the executive orders from the US Administration to determine what, if any, their potential impact on our organisation could be.
Employee networks
We have nine active employee networks which are voluntary, employee-led groups which focus on gender, sexuality, cultural diversity and ethnicity, mental wellness, disability, menopause, armed forces and working parents and carers.These networks help bring individuals together to offer support, networking opportunities and a sense of community. However, they also offer a collective voice and source of expertise to help Allianz identify and remove barriers which employees may face and support the inclusion and contributions of all employees.
Gender and fair pay
Equal pay and gender pay gap both deal with the levels of pay females get at work and are both very important, but they are two different measures.
50.4%
(for those who identify as a binary gender).
Allianz committed to achieving a minimum of 40% female representation across our management population by 2024.
As of December 2024, there is a 42% female representation in management grade roles.
Women in Finance Charter
Allianz Holdings (incorporating Allianz Management Services Ltd and LV General Insurance) is proud to be part of more than 400 firms across the financial services sector who have signed up to the HM Treasury Women in Finance Charter – a commitment to gender balance across financial services.
The introduction of clusters to replace the previous job grades across both companies has enabled a common approach across Allianz Holdings. This includes a new definition of senior leaders across the business. The previous targets of both entities to have 40% female representation in senior roles by the end of 2024 has been extended across Allianz Holdings using the new clusters structure.
We’re pleased to have achieved 40% female representation in senior roles as of August 2023.
EDGE
Economic Dividend for Gender Equality (EDGE) is a renowned external certification and we’re pleased to be globally EDGE certified. In the UK we achieved the ‘Move’ level certification and we are using the detailed EDGE overview to help us achieve the highest level of certification. Our focus on talent management, workplace strategies and a wider diversity and inclusion agenda and culture are all helping us to improve our gender balance.
Our commitment to achieving, maintaining and improving our position against our wider diversity and inclusion ambitions is reflected in our Executive and senior leader quantitative and qualitative performance plans and targets which will be linked to performance related pay.
