Creating Significant Impact

At Allianz, we work hard to ensure that the way we run our business enables us to have a positive social and environmental impact on our surrounding communities. We’re committed to reducing our carbon emissions from our offices across the UK and we’ve been carbon neutral since 2012. We will continue to set ourselves targets including sourcing 99.9% of our electricity from renewable sources by 2023.

A sustainable future for us.

As part of our commitment to minimising our environmental impact, we have an established carbon reduction strategy to reduce CO2 emissions. We continue to invest in video-conferencing and encourage employees to seek alternative options or more sustainable modes - such as rail or car-sharing to reduce business travel. We have introduced various digital programmes to reduce the amount of paper we use; including greatly increased digital communications with customers.  We also use various waste contractors around the UK to maximise post-collection separation and recycling.

Fostering the Share Ownership Culture

Encouraging the share ownership culture of being simpler, faster, and better for our customers means working together as one Allianz. As such, all our employees should benefit when we succeed. The Allianz Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP) is designed to enable our employees to share in the long-term performance of Allianz SE on the stock market as shareholders, owners, and employees. For every 3 Euro invested in the share program, Allianz contributes 1 Euro. As a result, more than 50 percent of employees across 42 countries (2020: 42 countries) are Allianz shareholders. In 2021, the Allianz ESPP was recognized externally by the Global Equity Organization (GEO), winning the award for Best Plan Communication.
