MINNEAPOLIS – March 13, 2023 – For the fourth year in a row, Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz Life) has been recognized as one of the 2023 World’s Most Ethical Companies® by Ethisphere.
The list of 135 companies from 19 countries around the world honors organizations that demonstrate exceptional leadership and a commitment to business integrity through best-in-class ethics, compliance and governance practices.
“Our culture at Allianz Life is rooted in leading with ethics and integrity, where our employees are empowered to make the right choices every day,” said Jasmine Jirele, president and CEO, Allianz Life. “These values are at the heart of how we do business, and we are proud to receive this recognition of our efforts yet again.”
Grounded in Ethisphere’s proprietary Ethics Quotient®, the World’s Most Ethical Companies assessment process includes more than 200 questions on culture, environmental and social practices, ethics and compliance activities, governance, diversity, and initiatives that support a strong value chain. The process serves as an operating framework to capture and codify the leading practices of organizations across industries and around the globe.
In this year’s nomination, Allianz Life highlighted its “Leader’s Conversation Guide – Integrity in Action” campaign, which helped people managers in the company understand the importance of having ongoing conversations related to ethics and integrity, as well as reporting when situations do not align with company mission, vision and values.
“Ethics matters. Organizations that commit to business integrity through robust programs and practices not only elevate standards and expectations for all, but also have better long-term performance,” said Ethisphere CEO, Erica Salmon Byrne. “We continue to be inspired by the World’s Most Ethical Companies honorees and their dedication to making real impact for their stakeholders and displaying exemplary values-based leadership.
