Inspired by the top performance of Paralympic athletes at the Torino 2006 Winter Paralympics Allianz SE, IPC and DBS have agreed to join forces to foster the growth and impact of the global Paralympic Movement, thus using the power of top-performance sports as a platform to promote the rights of persons with a disability to be full and active members of society.

“Taking the athlete’s exceptional achievements and the outstanding performance as a role model for all our Allianz’ staff, the partnership with the International Paralympic Committee and the German National Paralympic Committee also sets a standard for Allianz’ employee engagement, motivation and performance.”, said Dr. Gerhard Rupprecht, Member of the Board of Management of Allianz SE.

Consequently Allianz SE supports the IPC as “Gold Patron” of the Paralympic Movement and the DBS as “Official Partner of the German Paralympic Top Team”, providing both partners with crucial financial and promotional support.
