Getting ready for a more sustainable future
Making your buildings more environmentally friendly
If you have Buildings cover and your building is totally destroyed and needs to be rebuilt, we'll pay up to $5,000 (after the deduction of any government or council rebates) to help with the costs of installing environmental systems, such as solar power systems and rainwater tanks.
This benefit is available under most of our Home and Landlord Insurance products. Refer to the Product Disclosure Statement for full terms, conditions, limits and exclusions that apply.

What we’re doing in Australia
Reducing emissions1 from our own operations
Our own operations currently include energy use for our buildings, employee flights, corporate vehicles, and paper use. We’re aiming to reduce emissions1 across these areas.
Using renewable electricity for our buildings
In 2023, we sourced the equivalent of 100% renewable electricity for our buildings from a variety of sources, including renewable energy certificates4.
Green Specs: Turning blueprints green
We’ve partnered with the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) to launch the Sustainable Home Renovations Guide and Green Specs, an online tool to help you make your home more sustainable.
Local collaborations
Disaster Relief Australia (DRA)
We’ve partnered with this veteran-led organisation since 2020. When disaster strikes, DRA works alongside local agencies and government to help service those who are vulnerable and in need. Through its ‘Big Map’ capability, DRA also proactively helps prepare communities for disaster and works with them to test scenarios, identifies vulnerabilities, and helps them understand what it means to be ready.
Australian Sustainable Finance Institute (ASFI)
We’re a founding member of ASFI which was established to realign the Australian financial services system. We work to create a sustainable and resilient financial system by directing capital to support greater social, environmental and economic outcomes.

Disclaimer
- Allianz Australia considers emissions as defined under the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol. Each type of emission has a different global warming potential (GWP), the GWP of each emission type is published as a factor and used to translate GHGs, other than carbon dioxide, into carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) units.
- Battery thermal runaway for EVs is covered under fire, provided there has been no deviation from manufacturer specification in relation to battery usage and charging.
- If you choose your own repairer, we may need a second quote from another repairer chosen by us just to make sure the quote you've received is reasonable. We may then authorise repairs, pay you reasonable repair costs or the car’s agreed value or replace your new car where policy conditions are met.
- Renewable energy certificates (REC) are a market-based instrument that provide assurance that the equivalent energy unit flowing into the power grid comes from renewable energy. This is administered by the Australian Government Clean Energy Regulator.
