13 Management Summary I Stakeholder Expectations of Allianz Issues of social and commercial relevance for Allianz As in previous years, demographic change was cited as the most important relevant issue. Alongside demographic change, three overarching issues were deemed to be of particular relevance - education, capital market stability and dealing with risks (in relation to new technologies and from a social perspective). The issues of terrorism, right-wing extremism, the Nazi past as well as art and culture have practically no significance. Handling of relevant issues As in the past, Allianz s main expectation is that it will offer financial instruments, be generous in the adjustment of claims and assist its customers in avoiding losses. There is also an expectation that the company will display even more commitment to issues that extend beyond this, e.g. in the form of working partnerships with NGOs and as regards social action. Climate protection Allianz should act as a role-model as far as climate issues are concerned. In this respect, respondents attached considerable importance to the development of products and services for climate protection, the reduction of the company s own emissions and to investments made based on climate-related criteria. Growth strategy As far as generating future growth is concerned, Allianz is expected to exhibit innovative methods of action in various respects: as a solution leader and as an ethical company. 22 Management Summary II Competitiveness Allianz should counter increasing competitive pressure by focusing on maximum customer orientation and developing innovative products and solutions. In addition to these two aspects, the current survey contained one other point that has become more important: countering competitive pressure by means of a strong brand. Measuring Success From the stakeholder perspective, customer satisfaction is the best indication of success, even more so than profitability and employee satisfaction. Acceptance within society is another significant aspect. Expectations regarding communications The stakeholders believe that the most important communication channels for Allianz are press relations via the media and the Internet. As far as the Internet is concerned, the most relevant channels cited are the company's own Internet site, as well as the Allianz knowledge site, an Internet dialog platform with NGOs. Involvement of stakeholders Stakeholders want to be involved in Allianz s new issues and areas of commitment through new product and service offers. Dialog events and information services (Internet) also have a relevant role to play. Compliance with values and governance rules Customer benefit should always be the focal point of the commitments made by Allianz and its employees. As regards integrity, stakeholders place particular emphasis on compliance with the company's own management guidelines, its own code of conduct and with the German Governance Code. 23
