Allianz commits €200,000 for post flood recovery in Sri Lanka, Part of €600,000 Regional Relief for Southeast Asia

Allianz SE will allocate €100,000 to the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society (SLRCS) to deliver immediate assistance to those most affected and €100,000 will also be provided for post-disaster support, implemented in collaboration with Allianz Insurance Lanka Limited and selected local partners, focusing on disaster prevention and climate resilience, helping communities rebuild and strengthen their preparedness against future events.
