“We remain committed to advancing and respecting human rights and working together to eradicate modern slavery.”

Addressing modern slavery
Exploitation is a spectrum, ranging from dangerous and substandard working conditions to explicit violations of individuals’ human rights, such as modern slavery.
We recognise that modern slavery has the potential to exist in our global operations and supply chain in different ways.
Allianz Australia’s modern slavery risk profile is likely to evolve over time and may be impacted by external factors such as conflicts, natural disasters, and broader global supply chain issues.
Modern slavery statements
Our annual statements are available on the Government's Modern Slavery Register or through these links
