You trust us to manage your money – including insurance premiums, pensions and savings – profitably and responsibly. Allianz is recognized as an industry leader for embedding sustainability in our decisions about where to invest and what products to offer. To ensure that your premiums and contributions are invested responsibly, we consider a long list of important aspects before deciding how to invest and what we will and won’t invest in. In the industry, we call this integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics. We constantly talk to the companies we invest in about their sustainability impacts and approach, because we believe this is the best way to move the business world in the right direction.

Sustainable investing means investing in opportunities that generate financial returns and are mindful of ESG risks and opportunities. As well as taking care to manage ESG risks, we find investment opportunities in real-world issues such as climate change, or opportunities such as green buildings and renewable energy. For example, we developed AfricaGrow, a fund dedicated to supporting innovative small businesses and start-ups in Africa. You can read more about ESG integration and the details of what we will and won’t invest in on our website. www.allianz.com/esg-framework Learn more about sustainability-integration in your insurance product In many markets, such as in the European Union, we provide dedicated information on how sustainability is integrated into our investment decisions and certain insurance products.
