Allianz SE announced today that it donates up to 600,000 euros to support disaster relief in Indonesia, Thailand and Sri Lanka. Torrential rainfalls have triggered severe flooding and landslides across Southeast Asia, leaving more than 1,100 people dead in a week of devastation and complicating rescue efforts for hundreds still missing. Allianz is deeply rooted with local entities in the three countries and serving millions of customers across Asia. By supporting the affected people and communities, Allianz acts on its promise to secure the future of its stakeholders in times of need.
Allianz SE will allocate 300,000 euros to local Red Cross and humanitarian aid organizations to deliver immediate assistance to the most affected people. In addition, up to 300,000 euros will be donated for post-disaster support, to be deployed in collaboration with its local Allianz operating entities and selected local partners. This tranche will focus on disaster prevention and climate resilience, helping communities rebuild and strengthen their preparedness against future events.
Renate Wagner, Member of the Board of Management of Allianz SE, responsible for Asia Pacific, Mergers & Acquisitions, People and Cultures says:
“At Allianz, we stand with the people and communities affected by the severe floods and landslides across Southeast Asia. Through immediate relief and long-term resilience support, we aim to help families recover, strengthen local communities, and better prepare for future climate-related events.”
Anusha Thavarajah, Regional Chief Executive Officer, Allianz Asia Pacific adds:
“Across Indonesia, Thailand and Sri Lanka, many families and communities are facing significant loss and disruption. In moments like these, Allianz stands alongside them. Asia Pacific is home to our people, our customers, and the communities we serve, and we remain deeply committed to the region. Our immediate focus is on providing relief where it is most needed, while also supporting communities to rebuild and strengthen resilience, so those most affected can move forward with confidence.”
