MINNEAPOLIS – March 11, 2025 – Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz Life) has been recognized as one of the 2025 World’s Most Ethical Companies® by Ethisphere for the sixth year in a row.
In 2025, 136 honorees were recognized spanning 19 countries and 44 industries for leading with integrity, prioritizing ethical business practices, and demonstrating a commitment to doing what’s right through robust ethics, compliance, and governance practices.
“Leading with integrity and ethical conduct is a core value at Allianz Life,” said Jasmine Jirele, president and CEO, Allianz Life. “Embedding strong ethics into everything we do allows us to create a high level of trust with both our customers and employees, which is a critical component to our success as a company.”
Allianz Life’s commitment to ethics helps provide a strong foundation for the company’s sustainable practices, emphasizing responsible investing, equity, and a long-term focus on well-being for people and the planet.
The World's Most Ethical Companies assessment is grounded in Ethisphere's proprietary Ethics
Quotient®, which requires companies to provide 240+ different proof points on practices that support robust ethics and compliance; governance; a culture of ethics; environmental and social impact; and initiatives that support a strong value chain. That data undergoes further qualitative analysis by a panel of experts who spend thousands of hours vetting and evaluating each year's group of applicants. This process serves as an operating framework to capture and codify best-in-class ethics and compliance practices from organizations across industries and from around the world.
In addition to the many initiatives highlighted in the application, Allianz Life's "Hear Me, I’m Listening" campaign plays a significant role in promoting the organization's ethical culture. By prioritizing three core principles – ensuring everyone's voice is heard, acknowledging the value of diverse perspectives, and creating a non-penalizing and non-criticizing environment – the campaign empowers employees to openly share their ideas, thoughts, and opinions.
“Congratulations to Allianz Life for achieving recognition as one of the World’s Most Ethical
Companies®,” said Erica Salmon Byrne, chief strategy officer and executive chair, Ethisphere. “Behind this honor is a true dedication and a commitment to advancing business integrity. This approach is good for business – employees and other stakeholders value companies that prioritize the kinds of practices we measure with our process.”
