Creating trust as sustainability leader
Insurance is an intangible but stabilizing force for individuals and businesses. At the core of Allianz’s brand promise is the commitment to secure the future of its customers and employees. With the growing impact of climate change, Allianz focuses on supporting customers to become more resilient and expanding the role of insurers in addressing societal challenges. Allianz is widely regarded as a global frontrunner in sustainability, with an ambitious and measurable net-zero transition plan to decarbonize its proprietary property and casualty insurance and investment portfolios. Our commitment is further underscored by Allianz’ social initiatives such as humanitarian aid support and on-the-ground response to communities impacted by the recent floods in Germany in June 2024 and Central Europe in September 2024, as well as its role as a founding partner of ‘Humanity Insured’, an international non-profit organization with the vision to bring insurance-led climate resilience to billions of people.
