Young people do value funeral insurance, similar to older generations, but they rarely talk about it. This is evident from a representative study by a.s.r. among 1,250 Dutch people aged 18 to 80. 6 in 10 Dutch people consider funeral insurance a relevant product, with the prevention of unexpected costs for surviving relatives cited as the main reason. Savings are most frequently mentioned as an alternative by those who choose not to take out funeral insurance.

a.s.r. has once again achieved Step 1 on the Social Enterprise Performance Ladder (PSO), a national certification that promotes socially responsible entrepreneurship.

On average, a.s.r. employs more people with a distance to the labour market than organisations of similar size.

This marks the completion of a large-scale migration and represents an important milestone in the integration of a.s.r. and Aegon Nederland. Stater has long been the trusted platform for mortgage processing at a.s.r.
