Allianz, German Embassy Partner for Bike Safety and Sustainability Through Ride Safe Campaign

“Ride Safe is a campaign in support of cycling for sustainable cities. As a global sustainability leader, Allianz launched this campaign to encourage more Filipinos to rekindle an interest in cycling, which promotes low-carbon emission. In order to promote cycling, we need partners who, like Allianz, are committed to addressing climate change. We are elated to have the German Embassy as a partner in spreading awareness of the profound effects of green transport mobility to environment preservation.” ~Alexander Grenz, Allianz PNB Life President and CEO

As an advocate of sustainability and road safety, Allianz PNB Life Insurance, Inc. has recently partnered with the San Juan City Government to promote biking as an alternative transportation solution for the public. Allianz unveils the design of the bike safety infrastructure project with San Juan, which will include the country’s first state-of-the-art public bike pit stop. Both parties raise awareness of biker safety and biking as a sustainable transportation alternative. Allianz PNB Life has found another sustainability partner as the German Embassy Manila joined its Ride Safe campaign, which seeks to promote biker safety and green mobility.
