ESG Integration Framework for Investments, which includes the Allianz ESG Scoring Approach (see section 03.6) . Allianz has developed a single approach to ESG integration across insurance and investment lines of business. Nevertheless, due to differing roles as an insurer and an investor (including varying investment processes per asset classes) processes in some cases need to be differentiated.

Allianz’s ability to assess a transaction or place conditions on the business depends on a number of factors. For insurance, if Allianz acts as the primary insurer direct with the client it allows a greater degree of dialogue. If the business is via a broker, Allianz is part of a consortium or has a minority share of the risk, it limits the ability to obtain further information or to engage proactively. 1 AGCS Business Services acts as both an OE and GL ESG function, by providing ESG 4 Sensitive business areas material to Allianz: Agriculture, fisheries and forestry, assessment services to AGCS and all local operating entities for property and casu- agricultural commodities investments, animal welfare in agriculture, betting and alty transactions. gambling, clinical trials, animal testing, defense, human rights, hydro-electric pow- 2 A condition can for example be approval subject to further information being er, infrastructure, mining, nuclear energy, oil and gas, sex industry.

This list was developed to identify transactions in countries where systematic human rights violations occur and refer those transactions to the referral process for human rights. Criteria, to determine if systematic human rights violations occur in a given country, are based on a range of international human rights country-level assessments ranging from conflict zones to corruption levels: • Heidelberg Institute for International Conflict Research (Country Indexes) • Transparency International – Corruptions Perceptions Index • UNICEF Child Labor Database • Global Slavery Index • Pew Research Government Restrictions on Religion Index • Minority Rights Group International – Peoples Under Threat • United Nations Development Programme – Gender Inequality Index • ILGA – List of Countries with State Sponsored Homophobia The Allianz ESG Guideline on Human Rights (see section 03.4.7) is applied to any business in those countries, unless restricted by legal and economic sanctions and restrictions that are in place, in which case such transaction are already addressed under separate processes managed by legal and compliance functions. Global Sustainability regularly updates the Sensitive Countries List. 27

As one of the world’s largest bondholders, PIMCO has a large and important platform with which to engage issuers to drive meaningful change on sustainability dimensions. Engagement is an essential tool for delivering impact in ESG investing.
