Collaborating for a sustainable future

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.

Oliver Bäte, CEO, Chairman of the Board of Management of Allianz SE

Our purpose is not just about providing financial security. 'We secure your future' also means that sustainability in all its dimensions is a priority for the Board and the management team, starting with me as CEO.

Ultimately, we believe that sustainability and inclusivity are the best way to realize our potential for growth and value creation. And at the same time, contribute to a more sustainable future for the world and the societies in which we live and work.

'After 131 years in business, we never tire of working with others to find solutions to complex sustainability problems – and we will remain unsatisfied until we have found effective, institutionalized long-term solutions that make the world a better place.'
By the very nature of what we do – we protect 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 leading in the financial services industry and beyond. To achieve it, we focus on three high-impact areas.

Tackling Climate Change

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

Societal Impact

Using our role as an employer, insurer, investor and corporate citizen to contribute to more inclusive and stronger societies.

Integrating ESG

Leading in our industry for how we consider environment, 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 2020 Sustainability Report.
