Allianz Ride
Safe, a bike safety and education campaign by major insurer Allianz PNB Life,
was recently recognized as one of the country’s best corporate social responsibility
(CSR) initiatives at the Asia CEO Awards 2021 last October 12.
The Asia
CEO Awards is the largest business awards event in the Philippines. With the
purpose of promoting the country as the premier business destination for global
enterprises, it presents a wide range of highly competitive awards, including
CSR Company of the Year.
This year,
Allianz clinched a finalist spot in the category and entry to the Circle of
Excellence with its Ride Safe campaign. The grand prize was awarded to Magsaysay
Shipping & Logistics (MSL) for its wide-scale pandemic relief efforts.
The top
CSR award was opened to corporate and non-corporate organizations committed to
promoting environmental protection and awareness, livelihood programs, and
youth development projects over the past year.
Allianz
Life President and CEO Alexander Grenz, in acknowledging the company’s Center
of Excellence recognition, said, “It is an honor for Allianz to be recognized
by such a distinguished award-giving body. Together with all the nominees, we
will continue to help more Filipinos during the pandemic.”
Allianz
launched Ride Safe in 2020 to help address Metro Manila’s transportation
problems worsened by strict health protocols and lockdowns, thus catering to
the Metro’s
growing number of cyclists.
Besides
aligning with the insurer’s global sustainability
goals, the
campaign also collaborated with policymakers and citizen advocates alike. Its
landmark initiatives so far include the country’s first solar-powered bike
pit stop in San Juan and themed bike racks and
art installations in three of Manila’s main parks.
“Providing
safer and alternative transportation is one of the best ways Allianz PNB Life
can ensure healthier cities and people. Recognitions like this are what can
give Ride Safe the on-ground support it needs to further succeed,” said Grenz.
Allianz is
now in talks with more local officials to bring Ride Safe to other parts of the
country.
Allianz
PNB Life, the country’s fastest growing life insurance company
for premium income, continues to secure the health and wealth of Filipinos
here and abroad. For more information, visit allianzpnblife.ph or
