01.6 Our social approach 01 Introduction and strategy 02 Measuring and managing sustainability 03 Climate change related disclosure 04 Strengthening our foundation 05 Our universal principles This shows for example by the Managing Disability platform launched by Fondazione Allianz UMANA MENTE to promote a positive disability culture in Italy and foster a more inclusive workplace. Next generations and people with disabilities For next generations and people with disabilities we are focusing on SDG 8, supporting employability. We support this through our corporate citizenship approach which focuses on education and physical activity and deliver through our corporate citizenship areas MoveNow, OE initiatives, foundations, education and academic support as well as emergency relief. With that, we want to enable them with skills needed to enter the workforce with confidence. We believe these skills need a mental and physical foundation, which is why we think education and physical activity are key to enable the next generations to prosper. Through our academic partnerships, we offer various scholarships. And we support ground-breaking medical and climate research through awards every year. Leveraging our education, experience and partnerships in sports, we create programs that promote well-being, resilience and job-readiness for youth and people with disabilities. We are working closely with our partners including the International Olympic Committee, Bayern München and the International Paralympic Committee. For details see section 02.7. Activities for next generation and people with disabilities. Allianz corporate citizenship activities locally in the OEs and globally are being steered towards the Group strategy. MoveNow On a global level, the MoveNow Tr aining Series was launched in 2022 in partnership with the International Paralympic Committee, starting with twelve operating entities. MoveNow leverages the long history which Allianz has on engaging children/ youth and people with disabilities on physical activity, embedding educational elements. The series promotes accessible physical activity and educational elements, both in physical camps and in digital forms. At the local level, our operating entities implement next gener ations activities tailored to their specific markets. In 2022, 15 operating entities kicked off corporate citizenship projects with a clear SDG 8 focus on the next generations and people with disabilities. These programs were in addition to their existing social impact initiatives. Allianz foundations Our foundations around the world support next gener ations programs that enhance education, promote physical activity, and enable employability. In Germany, the Allianz Foundation in Berlin will fo cus on three new Next Generations flagship projects. More information can be found here.
