Mariska van Donge, sustainability, benchmarking & reporting manager at a.s.r.: ‘Today we announce our commitment to SBTi, a step that underlines our commitment to a more sustainable future. By setting our emission reduction targets and having them validated by an independent institution, we can make a contribution to the environment, that is both transparent and objectively measurable. SBTi also helps us to comply with sustainability regulations such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). With this step, a.s.r. emphasises its commitment to measurable objectives. This way, we contribute to a better, more sustainable society and a healthier world together.’
