Allianz GRACE is our employee network for nationality/ethnicity inclusion and has eight local networks in place. GRACE provides a platform across the Group to connect and exchange the learning and insights needed to foster a work environment inclusive for all, independent of race, cultural ethnicity or nationality.

The focus of Allianz GRACE is on pro-actively contributing to a fully inclusive workplace – free of all forms of discrimination – by developing and sharing educational materials as well as promoting a dialogue on what it means to work across cultures. Through its work, Allianz Grace supports a workforce and environment that supports attraction and retention of international and culturally diverse talent as well as strong positioning against racial inequalities.

Redeat Gashu, Lead of the Global Allianz GRACE Board:

“As a person of color living in Germany, it is rather easy to stand out from a room full of people. The feeling of belonging and inclusivity is very important in all aspects of life. With Allianz GRACE, we want to create a platform where we can tackle racial inequalities. We will ensure a sustained environment of equity and inclusion to disadvantaged communities, as well as celebrate the vast diversity of cultures that exist within this organization.”
