Allianz Turkey publishes its second ‘Sustainability Report’

The company transforms the business itself for a better environment, for the goodness and welfare of individuals, corporations and society in compliance with the sustainability principles; while supporting entrepreneurship and innovation and offering preventive solutions. 

Burçin İmir, Director of Corporate Communications and Sustainability Office at Allianz Turkey, states that they do not regard the concept of ‘sustainability’ as a corporate social responsibility project; and adds: “The fact that Allianz Group does not leave the top ranking in Dow Jones Sustainability Index to any other company is a big encouragement for us. We are ensuring economic continuity of individuals, corporations and societies against potential risks, while contributing to the economy and social development through our products and services at the same time.” According to İmir, Allianz Turkey continues to increase the living standards of individuals with their products and services, by basing their management approach on environmental, social and governance factors. “With the aim of becoming a part of the bigger picture, our sustainability strategy focuses on 5 of the 17 sustainable development goals. We are happy and proud to be a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact and Women’s Empowerment Principles,” she says.
