At Allianz, we act with integrity and are committed to complying with laws, regulations and internal rules that govern our operations and our business relationships. Our purpose – “We secure your future” – commits us to long-term thinking and sustainable actions.
If you have information that an entity of the Allianz Group or any of its suppliers has violated laws, regulations or internal rules, we at Allianz encourage you to report this to us.
With the SpeakUp@Allianz tool, we offer a simple way to report concerns. The tool fully protects your identity. We make sure that each reported incident is dealt with by our independent examiners in an impartial and effective way.
Based on your report, we can contribute to stopping any potential violations, help the people affected and improve our prevention measures. It also helps us to minimize the risks of future wrongdoings.
