Sponsoring and donation policy
As a financial service provider a.s.r. emphasises the importance of financial continuity for people, to enable them to take responsible risks and make well-informed financial choices. a.s.r. aims to contribute by helping to prevent people from getting into debt or to assist them getting out of debt. Back to the roots of insurance: Helping by doing.
a.s.r.’s sponsorship and donation policy fits in with these principles. The purely financial support hardly ever occurs anymore. It is mostly a combination of material and substantive support.
Foundations and funds
a.s.r. is committed to conserving cultural and social heritage and is involved in a number of nation-wide and local foundations. a.s.r. predecessor De Utrecht's historical library cabinet, for example, was given a sublime spot in our building after more than 40 years of peregrination. The local ties mostly stem from the past presence of an a.s.r. division in a city or town.
