Allianz’s Valuable 500 Commitment:

The diversity of our workforce enables Allianz to truly understand our equally diverse customers and their needs. Fostering an inclusive company culture benefits our business and helps us to be considered a credible, trustworthy partner. We believe in equality of opportunity and are committed to creating a fair environment where people can succeed regardless of gender, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, cultural background or other characteristics. We welcome diverse minds and abilities as they make us more innovative, more resilient and better equipped for the future.

At Allianz we want to nurture a company culture which is founded on fairness and respect. The foundation of this is an inclusive atmosphere, where people have a true sense of belonging; where they can bring their whole selves to work and unfold their full potential. When we embrace the uniqueness of our people and empower them to fully participate and share their thoughts and ideas with confidence, they can feel their work is meaningful.

In this context, Allianz is very proud of its long-term engagement in the Olympic and Paralympic Movements.

Our Commitment

We commit to setting up an Allianz employee network for disability inclusion globally. This network will contain local chapters in national entities and a Global Disability Inclusion Board, representing employee voices at Group level. The key focus will be on removing barriers, stigmas and taboos, and to foster an environment where people with disabilities feel they can succeed.

More specifically, through this network we foster a company culture that attracts and retains talents with disabilities, improve technical accessibility in processes and digital applications as well as physical accessibility e.g. in our buildings, raise Allianz’s disability confidence at all hierarchy levels, create awareness of disability-inclusive communication, use internal and external good practices and celebrate key dates like International Day of People with Disabilities.

The Global Disability Inclusion Board will have a permanent seat in the Allianz Global Inclusion Council where it advises our leaders on topics related to disability. The Board will also collaborate with the other Allianz employee networks to recognize intersectionality and join efforts towards an overall inclusive environment.

Diversity is not an obstacle to overcome;

it‘s both a social obligation and a huge business opportunity!
