Corporate responsibility
Our culture
Our people are our most valuable asset and the key to what makes our company succeed. Their skills and values shape the experience that clients receive – and help us earn the trust that underpins our business.

This includes seeking to limit the impact of our business operations on the environment. The overview below is a snapshot of our engagements in our offices around the globe.
Our environmental impact
With our engagements across the globe, we have set an important milestone towards reducing the impact of our business operations on the environment as the figures below show.
The baseline for our environmental reduction targets in operations is 2019 across all entities belonging to AllianzGI. It forms the basis against which we measure our performance and achievements. This also allows filtering out effects of the Covid pandemic. The applicable intensity ratio for our targets and performance is GHG emissions per employee or resource consumption/output per employee.
