In 2012 we laid the foundations for a profound renewal which this year will lead to the unification of the group's three agent networks under the Allianz brand. Our strategy, focused on multi-access, cross-channel and modular product offer, aims to respond to the needs of consumers "anywhere and at any time". “The digitization of our business model – explained Sartorel – will be the key element in 2013 and will allow us to make the most of our strengths: technical skills, excellent operating results, the strict discipline of cost control and a very solid financial position”. “Thanks to these strengths – added the CEO of Allianz SpA – investors and consumers have confirmed their trust in our group even in the most difficult phases of the crisis”.
