Allianz GRACE is our employee network for nationality/ethnicity inclusion and has 14 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.

Shanticka Buchanan, Lead of the Global Allianz GRACE Board:

"True innovation and success thrive in workplaces where every race, ethnicity, and culture has a voice at the table. Employee networks are more than communities—they are catalysts for change, ensuring that inclusion isn’t just a goal, but a reality. I chose to help lead the Allianz GRACE global network because progress doesn’t happen by chance; it happens when we step up, take action, and push the needle forward together."
