Sustainability ambition

Achmea stands for Sustainable Living Together. We strive for a sustainable and inclusive society in which we enjoy living together and no one feels left out. Achmea wants to make sustainable solutions accessible to everyone. In addition, climate action is an important theme for us. We are therefore committed to climate-neutral business operations by 2030, a climate-neutral investment portfolio by 2040 and a climate-neutral insurance portfolio by 2050 at the latest. Our climate transition plan describes how we are working towards achieving our climate ambitions.

Sustainability at Achmea Bank

Banks play an important role in our economy and society. For Achmea Bank, this means allowing people access to housing through mortgage lending, as well as accumulating wealth through saving products and investment services. Achmea Bank is part of the Achmea’s Retirement Services strategy. As part of Achmea’s purpose ‘Sustainable Living Together’, its Retirement Services strategy allows customers to accumulate wealth and generate income for today and tomorrow. Our shared ambition is making the whole of the Netherlands financially fit and self-reliant. As a partner in value creation, we wish to make an impact when it comes to environmental, social and governance topics, and we are transparent about our ambitions and impact. This means that we have and disclose clear goals and targets related to our impact on these topics. These efforts further support our mission to realise relevant financial solutions for sustainable living and income.

Our ESG strategy entails three target areas that describe our contribution to a sustainable living environment (Environmental), a contribution to accessibility for all in a participatory society (Social) and reliable banking with integrity (Governance). Within these three target areas, in which we have formulated our own contribution, we have also outlined contribution for and with our four most important stakeholders: our customers, our employees, our partners and our investors.
