As an employer, Allianz is dedicated to creating an  inclusive workplace with equal opportunities for all and shaping a diverse workforce with regard to gender balance, disability, nationalities/ethnicities, generations and LGBTQ+ globally as well as social diversity, locally in respective markets. Five global Allianz employee networks drive DEI topics bottom-up, reflecting our five different DEI dimensions: NEO (gender), Beyond (disabilities), GRACE (nationalities/ethnicities), Engage (generations) and Pride (LGBTQ+). They support the Global DEI team and the worldwide DEI Community in ensuring inclusion and belonging is at the heart of what we do.

As sponsor of the Olympics and Paralympic games, the ethos of sport is intrinsically linked to our values. This coupled with our outstanding commitment to inclusion, LGBTQ+ inclusion in particular meant that it was crucial for us to be supporting this incredible initiative.
