Social
Responsibility



 
We believe that building a sustainable business means caring for our customers, caring for our staff and also caring about the wider world we live in and the people we share the world with. Our mission, to help secure people’s future, extends beyond our customers and our people. We have social responsibilities as individuals but also to be a good corporate citizen. To make a difference, to give something back, to support and empower others.

Our three pillars

Environmental & Social Governance

We foster integrity by being transparent and integrating Environmental & Social Governance into our core business.


 

Low Carbon Emission

We’re supporting a healthier planet through low-carbon investments, sustainable solutions and efficient operations.


 

Social
Inclusion

We unlock solutions for a more inclusive society and a resilient future.

A wide range of community actions around the world

Allianz Partners is extremely pro-active when it comes to corporate social responsibility. Allianz Care, the name you may be more familiar with, is the international health brand of Allianz Partners. Here’s just a flavour of some of the work we’ve been doing around the world:
world clean up day


World Clean Up Day and reducing plastic

In September 2019, Allianz Partners participated in World Clean Up Day (in Belgium, Ireland, the United Kingdom, India, Australia, Italy, Qatar and Bahrain), and joined millions of volunteers worldwide to help our planet by clearing up waste. In our efforts to reduce single plastic use, we’ve eliminated use of plastic cups within our Dublin offices and invited the association No Plastic in my Sea to share tips with staff.
earth hour


Earth Hour

We take part in Earth Hour. This is one of the largest efforts to mobilize citizens for the planet, organized by the WWF. Every year, millions of people turn off their lights during this hour. The Allianz Arena, along with thousands of iconic monuments, is plunged into darkness. In France, Italy, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates and other regions of the world, Allianz Partners employees took part in this global event by turning off buildings lights and IT devices.

Education and Career services

We offer a range of Education and Career services, supporting and empowering students. Helping those looking for a job or searching for orientation and next career steps, to find the right educational pathway and/or the right job. In Dublin, we created a mentoring programme at St Dominic's Girls School/ St John's De la Salle Boys School Dublin with the goal of preparing and assisting students to transition from school to further education or employment.
volunteers at the Capuchin day centre


Helping the homeless

Our culture of care goes beyond our customers. For the last 10 years, the team in Dublin has supported and volunteered at the Capuchin day centre, raising money to buy food for the homeless and helping in the kitchens. Each year they organise an Easter egg collection, donating 500 Easter eggs this year. During Christmas, the team also organises a toy collection and the staff Christmas choir goes carol singing in the streets of Dublin to raise money. The team help to raise around €25,000 every year for the centre.

We joined the fight against Coronavirus

We’re playing an active role in the fight against coronavirus, not only through the preventative measures that staff are taking by working from home, but also in the efforts we’re making as a responsible corporate citizen.

  • As well as caring for our own customers’ needs, our medical professionals have been working on the frontline, volunteering at local hospitals during their free time.
  • Our colleagues in Italy have created and donated €60,164 to a crowdfunding campaign to build a new hospital in Milan dedicated to the care of COVID-19 patients.
  • Several Business units donated money/raised funds for local charities.
  • We have created a digital COVID-19 symptom checker, open to all. While customers concerned about COVID-19 can contact our 24/7 medical advice line. Staffed by an experienced medical team who provides advice in English, German, French and Italian.

Supporting our frontline heroes #FormalFriday

Dublin staff raised €3,400 for a number of Irish hospitals and foundations, supporting healthcare workers on the COVID-19 frontline, through a ‘formal Friday’ initiative. Staff dressed up in their formalwear and sent in photos of themselves doing day to day tasks such as mowing the lawn, or vacuuming.
