I want to thank all of our teams whose efforts once again allowed us to demonstrate our ability to serve all our customers around the world, be they global or local.”

This new organisation is headed by Grenier with the support of the recently established Board of Management.
In aims of maintaining its leadership position and become the B2B2C, customer-centric reference on the market, AWP relies on 5 strategic initiatives:
- assistance is focused on an increasingly connected world;
- international health on the ‘Health in a Box’ solution;
- travel on connected travellers;
- digital on ‘Allianz for Life’ solutions; and
- automotive on the connected car.
Grenier concluded: “AWP aims to generate 10 billion euros in turnover with an operating profit of 500 million euros by 2020, while simultaneously maintaining a high customer satisfaction rate (70% NPS) and strong commitment from our employees worldwide.”
