Allianz participates in annual pride parades in cities like Munich, London, Zurich and Minneapolis. On the day of the parade in Munich, we proudly light the Allianz Arena, one of the most prominent buildings in the city, in rainbow colors.
Allianz Pride - Our employee network for LGBTQ+ inclusion
Allianz Pride is our employee network for LGBTQ+ inclusion with 31 local networks in place covering >80% of the workforce. We encourage a corporate culture that values the equal opportunity of all our employees, independent of their gender expression and sexual orientation, to make the most of their talents and creates a working environment free from discrimination.
Allianz Pride key focus areas include providing a platform for all employees, for LGBTQ+ and their supporters within Allianz, raising awareness for LGBTQ+ topics and promoting mutual respect.
Cara McGillivray, Co-Chair of the Global Allianz Pride Board:
“As an ally, I am motivated to co-lead the AZ Pride Network because I believe that authentic inclusion requires active advocacy. Creating spaces where every colleague can bring their whole self to work isn't just the right thing to do—it's essential to building a culture where diverse perspectives drive innovation and everyone can thrive.
I want to leverage my position to amplify voices, challenge barriers, and champion policies that ensure our LGBTQ+ colleagues feel valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential."
John Bolton, Co-Chair of the Global Allianz Pride Board
"My involvement as co‑chair of the Allianz Pride Board is rooted in a belief in universal dignity at work, within the different cultural and legal contexts in which we operate. Progress on LGBTQ+ inclusion has never been even and varies widely around the world. Pride matters because it reinforces the principle that everyone should be treated with respect and able to participate fully in the workplace, without having to edit who they are. Often, it’s the small moments of allyship – what we say, notice or support in everyday interactions – that make the biggest difference.”
