Net-Zero transition plan – leading the way and driving the change

Allianz is leading the way in the financial services industry with its first net-zero transition plan that lays out the details for its 2030 intermediate targets to decarbonize own operations, proprietary investment, and P&C underwriting. Setting intermediate targets, implementing the necessary changes in its global business and reporting on the work is what drives the change.

Highlights include:

  1. Targeted 45% reduction in emission intensity across multiple lines of Allianz's corporate insurance business, which consists of large corporate customers that already report their greenhouse gas emissions. 
  2. For the retail car insurance portfolio, Allianz is targeting a 30% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030 in nine key European markets (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, UK). The base year for these decarbonisation targets is 2022.
  3. Allianz has already surpassed the 2025 intermediate target for its proprietary investment portfolio. The new target is now to halve emissions by 2030 compared to 2019, with a special focus on actively driving emissions reductions in the energy, steel and automotive sectors.
  4. Scaling renewable energy and low-carbon technology: Allianz to profitably grow revenues from transition solutions in commercial insurance portfolio by 150% and provide additional investments of 20 billion euros by 2030

This plan defines how Allianz is going to contribute to the economic transformation towards a net-zero economy. It was first published in September 2023 and implements a further recommendation of the United Nations’ High-Level Expert Group on the net zero commitments of non-state entities.
