Our management
Integrity and ethical conduct are prerequisites for a.s.r.’s reputation as a reliable insurer. a.s.r. is committed to conducting business according to the principles of honesty, integrity and fairness. The purpose of this commitment is to ensure compliance with laws and regulations, in this manner gaining and maintaining the trust of customers, shareholders, employees, business partners and society. Please find detailed information in the document below.
a.s.r. treats nature and the environment with care and has the ambition to emit 42% less CO2 by 2030 at the latest - compared to 2023 - with its own operation. This is in line with the Paris Agreement and a climate scenario of 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Energy saving
In 2024, we received the WEii certificate from the Dutch Green Building Council for our head office in Utrecht, which means that the office is Paris Proof. This was achieved, among other things, by completely disconnecting the building from the gas network. In the coming years, we will continue to focus on more efficient and green energy consumption. In this way, we use office spaces as efficiently as possible and continue to implement energy-saving measures.
Green energy and emission compensation
Our offices run on solar energy and green electricity that we purchase responsibly. We compensate for the emissions that we cannot avoid through tree planting projects of Trees for All. In 2024, we planted trees in Bolivia and Mexico, accounting for 3,300 tons of CO2e. To reduce emissions from commuting, employees will receive a public transport card, a bicycle allowance and the option to work hybrid. In addition, the lease fleet will be electrified.

a.s.r., as a member of society, contributes its fair share to enable and maintain the very society of which it is part. As reflected in the tax strategy adopted by the Management Board: a.s.r. aims to be a socially responsible taxpayer based on professionally executed tax compliance. a.s.r. does not apply any tax-aggressive positions.
- Assessing supplier's impact on society
Operating in a responsible manner is significant to a.s.r. From its suppliers a.s.r. expects the same. a.s.r. imposes additional requirements for its suppliers in the areas of environment, human rights and working conditions. The requirements are part of the procurement contacts concluded between a.s.r. and its suppliers. - Screening
a.s.r. does not undertake business with employees and business partners, including suppliers and customers involved in crime or socially undesirable acts, including money laundering, fraud and terrorist financing as it can seriously jeopardise its reputation and integrity. a.s.r. has a Customer Due Diligence (CDD) policy that requires screening before a contract is signed. In addition, the contract management policy stipulates that screenings are to be carried out on a periodical basis. If, in the opinion of a.s.r., there is reason to doubt the integrity of the supplier, appropriate measures are taken.
