Allianz Trade cut greenhouse gas emissions per employee by 65% in 2025 and expanded the issuance of sustainability‑linked trade credit insurance, as the insurer continued to integrate environmental and social criteria into operations, underwriting, and risk assessment.
Emissions linked to business travel per employee declined by 19% over the year, while office energy consumption per employee fell by 76% compared with a 2019 baseline, according to the insurer’s latest sustainability disclosures. Allianz Trade said it continued to source 100% of its electricity from renewable sources and increased the share of green vehicles in its corporate fleet compared with those in 2024.
Alongside operational measures, Allianz Trade increased the use of sustainability‑linked insurance solutions. Its Surety Green2Green and Specialty Credit Green2Green products, which are designed to support low‑carbon and renewable energy projects, were issued through 98 policies across 16 countries in 2025. Premiums associated with these products are invested in certified green bonds.
The insurer also reported the launch of Social2Social Specialty Credit, broadening its sustainability‑linked offering beyond environmental objectives to include social considerations. Allianz Trade said the product is intended to support projects and counterparties aligned with defined social impact criteria.
Internally, the company expanded sustainability‑related training and engagement initiatives during the year. More than 1,000 employees took part in Sustainability Days and thematic webinars held across several European locations. Allianz Trade said internal feedback indicated that a majority of participants felt better equipped to incorporate sustainability factors into their day‑to‑day roles.
“The idea behind this plan is to turn our colleagues into sustainability ambassadors so that, ultimately, we can spread a more sustainable mindset across the entire trade finance ecosystem,” said Piril Kadibesegil Yasar, head of sustainability at Allianz Trade.
The insurer also updated sustainability‑related risk assessment tools used by analysts. These included revised sector outlooks and tools aimed at supporting forward‑looking assessments of transition and physical risks, with the objective of more systematically integrating sustainability considerations into credit decisions and underwriting analysis.
Allianz Trade said the measures reflect a broader effort to embed sustainability into core business processes as regulatory expectations, client requirements, and risk profiles continue to evolve across global trade and credit markets.
