Reduced inequalities
Social cohesion is necessary for society to function properly. Everyone should have equal opportunities to be part of society.
Ensuring equal opportunities and eliminating inequalities
Achmea has an Ethical Framework for data-driven decision-making. This prevents discrimination, exclusion and unfair treatment of our customers.
We do not invest in companies or countries that systematically violate international human rights. Based on our standards, we exclude 11 companies from our investments. In addition, we exclude 56 countries and, as a result, 490 state-owned enterprises.
We held dialogue with 33 investee companies on the issue of human rights.
We allocated 0.5% of our net profit to the Achmea Foundation. This supports projects in the Netherlands and Africa that aim to reduce inequalities. In 2024, this amounted to over €4 million.
