Our name is the word for “alliance.” This means we stand steadfastly beside our customers, our people, and those who share our values in shaping a better world and a more secure future. In recent times, this world has become more uncertain: That is why we launched the “Power of Unity” program.
The “Power of Unity” program helps individuals and organizations engage more constructively in the face of growing polarization worldwide. Through research, thought leadership, and learning programs and events, the program seeks to promote dialogue and respectful debate, bridge divides by encouraging understanding, and restore trust in societal institutions.
Program's action drivers:
- Preparation: Inform our audiences of thought leaders from business, politics, science, and society to share their perspectives on polarization and how to overcome it.
- Belonging: Inspire audience with our existing multi-year social and community initiatives that Allianz drives and supports in local markets.
- Participation: Involve people by providing education, skills, tools, events, and initiatives. This includes guidance on how to act on misinformation and defuse tension through respectful listening and constructive debate.

The program is founded not only on publicly observable trends, but also on Allianz’s insights. Allianz Research’s fourth "Social Resilience Index 2024" cites that polarization and social unrest have increased in many countries, and with a sizable economic cost. The strength of democratic institutions, social cohesion, and trust in functioning markets and economies are being affected by increased partisanship. Through the Power of Unity, we want to demonstrate that we can face challenging times with optimism and alliances to bridge divides and bring people together.
The 2024 super electoral year has revealed fragilities in many countries: all incumbent parties in developed countries lost vote share (a first since World War II), and the ideological center of gravity has shifted to the right in 16 European countries and the United States.
In this context of rising polarization, Allianz recognizes its responsibility as a leader and trusted company with 125 million private and corporate customers and 150,000 employees worldwide we have a responsibility that extends beyond business results. We provide not only financial stability at the individual level but also contribute to restoring global confidence by advocating for unity on a societal level.
