Sustainable employer

Achmea’s social policy gives substance to sustainable employership. We focus on preserving the value of people, organization and society. Our ambition for the social policy is reaching social, financial, societal and ecological results with an impact within and outside the organization, focusing on the short-term as well as the long term.

Achmea stands for Sustainable Living. Together

People are different, and that’s a good thing. We want everyone to feel welcome at Achmea, so we do our utmost to achieve that. Our Achmea people are given the confidence to make the most of their potential. They have the freedom to be completely themselves. Everyone’s talent is recognised, respected and utilised. This our daily practice: we work for and with each other to create a more diverse and inclusive environment with respect for each other and our mutual differences.

Why?

Our ambition is to create sustainable value for our customers, our employees, Achmea and society. We feel that it’s important for everyone to have equal opportunities on the labour market, and we believe that variety is a source of richness. We harness different talents and perspectives to improve our performance and deliver appropriate customer service. After all, our customers are diverse too, and this is how we can contribute to building a sustainably inclusive society.
