a.s.r. again winner of Green Lotus Award
As in 2022, a.s.r. has won this year's Green Lotus Award. This award is presented to the mortgage lender that, in the opinion of the jury, is the most progressive in making homes more sustainable.
During HypoVak, the networking event for mortgage advisers and financial planners, a.s.r. was declared the winner of the Green Lotus Award for the second time. The jury report stated that after last year's win, a.s.r. continued unabated with its sustainability ambitions and clearly knows how to motivate advisers and consumers to become more sustainable. Other nominees this year were Florius and Obvion.
Neriman Polat, manager Funding & Distribution Mortgages: 'We are very proud of this recognition for all the efforts we make to help our customers make their homes more sustainable and to support advisers in their role in the sustainability process. There is still a lot to do in this area, so we will continue to do our utmost to contribute to the energy transition.'
Initiated by trade magazine InFinance, the Golden Lotus Awards are presented annually within the mortgage market. Since 2021, a new category has been added: the Green Lotus Award, an award for the most progressive lender in the field of home sustainability.
