DUSSELDORF, GERMANY - June 19, 2008 - The Allianz Knowledge Partnersite, an initiative of Munich-based financial services provider Allianz, recently launched an Enhanced Member Profile on CSRwire, one of the world's most popular websites for news and information about corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability.

The CSRwire profile will showcase Allianz Knowledge Partnersite articles, studies, videos, graphics, and press releases related to climate change, demographic change, microfinance, and safety & security - topics vital to Allianz's business and the world. They are based on the knowledge of experts from Non-Governmental Organizations and Allianz.

The profile will keep CSRwire readers updated on Allianz engagement and sustainability initiatives, and allows them to compare Allianz activities with those of other organizations, business sectors, and NGOs. CSRwire readers can also leave comments, and can thus engage in a dialogue with the company and other stakeholders.

A strong presence on CSRwire will give Allianz more visibility in the global CSR and sustainability community, and is an excellent opportunity to fulfill two of the core aims of the Allianz Knowledge Partnersite - knowledge sharing and dialogue on important global topics.
