SUBMITTED FROM:

ALLIANZ EUROPEAN RELIANCE

Our purpose at Allianz - European Reliance is to protect people and businesses from risk. In this way, we contribute to the long-term financial well-being of our customers and the stabilization of local economies. Insurance is one of the key ways we limit the impact of climate risks and compensate for climate-related losses. The higher a country's level of insurance coverage, the more resilient it is to extreme natural events. In addition, after an extreme weather event such as a flood or hurricane, insurance claims are often a quick and reliable solution to enable those affected to recover quickly. In addition to contributing to sustainable economic growth through our business activity, we also focus on overcoming barriers to social inclusion that will lead our society to a better, more productive future. That is why the empowerment of young people and the support of vulnerable social groups are key pillars of Allianz - European Reliance's  Corporate Responsibility program.



Objective Action

European Reliance actively integrates Corporate Social Responsibility at the heart of its business operations, thus creating a new innovative insurance offered free of charge to the Greek society.

The company, in addition to its sponsorships and solidarity actions of financial assistance and understanding of the needs of society, leverages its skills and knowledge capital so that its business operation is multidimensional and accepted by the general population as well as by its customers. By creating insurance products that satisfy fixed and stable needs of society, without the requirement of a relationship between the company and the insured, thus contributing to society as a whole.

At present, financial support is not enough. Responsible corporate citizens must mobilise both their resources and their expertise in order to produce value-added work in the social sector. The "Asfalistikos Goneas" stands by the policyholder and his/her family in the event that he/she is unable to fulfil his/her role as a natural parent due to an accident, ensuring free purchases from a number of European Reliance partner companies.
