Building confidence in tomorrow

We are shaping change for what's ahead by working with others to find solutions for a sustainable future.

With over 100 million customers, we’re one of the largest financial services providers in the world. Our purpose, ‘We secure your future’, expresses why we exist. It underscores the impact Allianz has on society by taking uncertainty out of the equation and driving change in the right direction.

"As Allianz's business model is built on long-term time horizons, sustainability is at the core of our enterprise and rooted in our purpose.

That is why, as a global insurer, investor and employer, Allianz invests to positively influence not only the present but also the future living conditions in the communities in which we operate. For example, we promote employability through our educational programs, with a special focus on underprivileged populations, to help them access decent work and thrive in today's rapidly changing environment. These efforts, along with our aspiration to protect what is most valuable to our customers, help stabilize society by reducing inequality and supporting financial security.

Stabilizing society, however, also requires that we focus on addressing climate change. Its impact on individuals and businesses is profound: climate change threatens people's incomes, homes, and health, just as it puts companies' physical assets and business continuity at risk. This holds also true for Allianz. It is therefore paramount that we address climate change."

"...climate change threatens people's incomes, homes, and health, just as it puts companies' physical assets and business continuity at risk."
By the very nature of what we do – protecting people, assets and businesses against risk – we make a positive contribution to society. Our ambition is to move from being a responsible company in our own right to be a leading force in the financial services industry and beyond. To achieve it, we focus on three high-impact areas.

Anticipating the risks of a changing climate, protecting vulnerable people and targeting investments and engagement to drive a low carbon future.

Aiming to be the most trusted partner for protecting and growing our stakeholders' assets.
 

Leading in our industry or how we consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues in our insurance, investments, and asset management. 
We're committed to being transparent so that our customers and stakeholders can trust our company and our investors to be confident about how we manage their money. Full details of our commitments and performance are set out in our 2022 Sustainability Report.

*As the specific definition of Net-Zero is still evolving for financial institutions and we anticipate CSRD requirements, we are no longer referring to the 2030 target for our Own Operations as a Net-Zero commitment. We will instead refer to it as a 2030 intermediate target. The rest of the decarbonization and removal targets for Own Operations remain as communicated in the Inaugural Net-Zero Transition Plan.
We believe in the power of collaboration and view long-term partnerships as instrumental to delivering positive change. Allianz’s businesses are signatory and member to a wide range of global sustainability initiatives and principles such as the below.
