The Leadership Values were introduced to raise the quality of leadership and accelerate the development of a high performance culture at Allianz, ensuring that leaders share a mutual understanding of our basic aims. They convey to every manager in the Group a clear framework linking business targets and desired leadership behavior.

Cultural transformation through the Leadership Values will help us to communicate openly and create an atmosphere of trust with both clients and employees. This will provide the leadership needed to drive our strategic objectives.

We work together to deliver a consistent business strategy. One of our main responsibilities is to communicate this strategy to all our stakeholders.

We set and agree on clear targets which are aligned with our strategy. We provide feedback and coaching to our employees to encourage and reward exceptional performance.

We ensure a relentless focus on our customers. We develop and grow strong customer relationships and seek to achieve profitable growth and thereby increase shareholder value. This requires us to deliver excellence in all our products, operations, processes and behaviors.

We invest in our employees. We select and develop potential according to high standards. We leverage diversity and encourage a culture that respects, values and benefits from different backgrounds and perspectives. We are transparent in the way we create career opportunities based on personal achievements and capabilities. We want to be an employer of choice.

We build our success on mutual trust, fairness, integrity, and clear and open communication. We encourage employees to innovate, identify business opportunities, share knowledge and ideas, and provide constructive feedback.
