With our advice, services and products, we enable people to lead a financially self-determined life. The relationship with our customers often lasts for several decades. Accordingly, sustainable and forward-looking management is the basis for long-term success. In our sustainability strategy, we prioritise the areas over which we can exert a direct influence. This includes sustainability in our business behaviour, as an asset owner and manager, in the insurance business and in advice plus as an employer.
