Global insurance leader Allianz continues to strengthen its commitment to sustainability by empowering its employees and developing them into champions for the cause through the Allianz Sustainability Training program. The online program was launched worldwide on 19 September.

The program was created by the Allianz Global Sustainability Team, together with its colleagues from AZ Consulting and AZU. As one of the companies at the forefront of sustainability, the goal of the program is to align with EU Legislation and other regulators on sustainability integration and transform employees of the Allianz Group into ambassadors of the advocacy.

The training program is hosted by AZU and is currently accessible through Degreed in 5 different languages: English, German, Italian, French and Spanish. It is a voluntary program with a certificate of completion and no participation fees, and is available to all Allianz employees around the world, including the Philippines.

"The Allianz Sustainability Training program is a very exciting new project launched by the Allianz Group in the hopes that every single one of us under the Allianz umbrella has the same, clear vision when it comes to sustainability," said Allianz PNB Life chief Marketing officer and head of Sustainability Gino Riola. "It's something we at Allianz PNB Life have been thrilled to implement, in conjunction with our already existing sustainability initiatives here in the country."

Allianz PNB Life has spearheaded many sustainability projects over the past few years. One of its newest insurance products, Allianz Protect, allows policyholders to donate a portion of their premiums to the World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines' Food Shed Farming Enterprise project. Recently, members of management, employees, and Life Changers, together with the company's banking partner Philippine National Bank, participated in a tree-planting event at the La Mesa Nature Reserve.
