U.K. ESG Watch: Targeting Allianz Insurance at U.K.'s Glastonbury Festival

The Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts (commonly referred to as simply Glastonbury Festival, known colloquially as Glasto) is a signature five-day festival of contemporary performance arts held in England, in most summers. This year the insurer, Allianz, of this Festival, is being under attack by the activists for its business relationship with weapon / military industries. Allianz is the world’s sixth-largest fossil fuel insurer and a provider of cover to Elbit Systems, weapons manufacturer for Israel.
